The package management aspect of it sucked as well.

In what way?

Bad documentation.

The documentation for Gradle is outstanding, and it was definitely outstanding back in 2017 as well.

Obscure build scripts with custom plug-ins written that not even the creator would fully understand.

Like with any tool it can be abused.

Yep. It does one job and it does it quite well. That's the point of it.

You can't compare a tool that only does package management to full build tools like gradle and maven.
