> My experience of Gradle is Gradle projects require a PhD in Gradle AND intimate familiarity with the tastes of whoever implemented that particular project .gradle files likes to use it. Is Bazel like that too?

This, I was quite happy to try out gradle when it appeared and when I read few tutorials it came to be: This is just Ant all over again, but this time instead of xml I get groovy.

Maven does one thing great: It forces you to use their build steps and every project has exactly the same steps.

Gradle is like Ant or CMake.
