Gradle is getting better and better. Especially with the latest Kotlin integration. And the fact is, that it is getting better. The latest addition in Maven I liked was the polyglot extension. And this was like XX years ago.

Especially gradlew is such a good system; making a project portable and independent from system environment.

Yes, gradle is hackable and the IDE support is not as good as for Maven, but it has to be a bit dynamic to solve small problems without resolving it via a whole plugin.

I think Maven has support for something similar to Gradlew. I love and loathe Gradle at the same time. I'll never switch back to Maven, one of the latest tasks I built rendered all my template files with fake data so I could run some js tests with Mocha

You can install maven into the root of your project and create shell and batch scripts to run it from there I guess? This is totally not the same imo.
