If Maven is good for you and ain't broken, don't fix it, stay with Maven.

Personally I use Gradle for everything because I do Kotlin, Spring and Android programming.

I have seen comments about Gradle and Kotlin, and that it's unfortunately hard to make the first step.

Well that depends if you are doing Android or not.

The Android Framework team has unfortunately made nothing to make using Gradle and Kotlin easily.

With Spring on the backend, it's super simple to get started:

Open start.spring.io/

I love the feature Explore - Ctrl + Space and use it all the time
