Which tool did you use more: Maven or Gradle, and why?

I used both tools — Maven and Gradle, but I preferred Gradle more often for the following reasons:

• Flexibility and speed: Gradle uses DSL in Groovy or Kotlin, which allows writing more flexible and concise build scripts.
• Incremental build: Gradle supports incremental builds, which speeds up the compilation and testing process.
• Better integration with Android: Gradle is the standard for building Android projects, making it easier to work with dependencies and configurations.

Maven, on the other hand, is more declarative and simpler for small projects, but in large and complex projects, Gradle offers more customization options.

Example of a simple Gradle script in Kotlin DSL:

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.8.0"
}

dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("stdlib"))
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
