> Build tools such as Maven and Gradle are fast, stable and effective

Exactly the opposite of what comes to mind when I think of these.

Gradle is not fast. I want to pull my teeth out every time IntelliJ decides to launch my application through Gradle rather than via the IDE directly because of the added boot time.
Maven is quite stable and effective - maven pom's can remain unchanged for years and still build. However it is not fast.
