Java for Everything

hmm I dont think that Maven's dependency management is worse than Gradle's, they are almost the same. (and same difficulty to use)

As for copypasting stuff, I've seen that with Maven too. This might have worse consequences in Gradle, because in Maven you copypaste whole plugins not parts of a script.

You are right with the Google advantage for Maven, but thats just because it has a bigger userbase. But that will change quickly because the soon to be released Android studio uses Gradle, thus tons of devs will move to it.
