I think it's worth making the distinction between Maven as a build tool and Maven as a package manager, because the latter I think does work quite well.

I've had enough maven for a lifetime. Too much time spent fiddling with settings.xml files and m2 folders, debugging builds in enterprise environments with dozen module projects and a mix of internal and public dependencies.

Now I guess you debug config.toml and build.rs files all the way up to ~/.cargo.
