So Gradle is not a build tool, it's a tool for building build tools? That's wonderful, but that's not what I want. I am trying to solve problems in my particular domain. I want to spend my time solving those problems, not wrestling with my tool for building build tools. I just want a tool which knows how to build my things, given the dependencies I give it. I want a tool with clear and up-to-date documentation. I want a tool whose behavior I can reason over. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, for gradle, it's too much to ask.
