Maven is better than Gradle, full stop. The only real issues with Maven, are the they keep adding features and are bringing in more scripting capabilities. Call me old, but a build system should be purely declarative as a matter of principle. Scripting just leads to someone eventually getting the idea of doing something clever, and then it becomes hell afterwards.

To put it more bluntly, Gradle only matters because of Android.
