He is just grumpy at Gradle, he does it in every possible thread that even mentions Gradle's name. Which is especially sad because he fails to even understand what Gradle does (see his comparison with Ant which is just completely inaccurate. Gradle has a proper build graph (actually better than Maven at this - there is never a need to do a clean install in Gradle, but you often have to do it with maven to get the proper output) it operates on)
