We tried Bazel for a java monorepo. Not having good IDE support was a deal-breaker because it would complicate things for onboarding and junior devs

Same experience here; I moved us to Gradle six months ago, and like magic all the whining in Slack about our build system just... went away.

Turns out, when your build system doesn't occupy 5-15% of your teams' working days, they get a lot more done!

I found maintaining IDE files and a Bazel build side by side to be surprisingly easy.

It’s for sure a weak point with Bazel though.

Generate a project file as part of the build?
