That is what happens when a new generation has grown without Ant and then a giant behemoth with endless cash for top hardware gets a deal to push Gradle as the official build tool for their mobile OS.
Not for those that don't suffer from XML allergy, so given that, the outcome is almost the same, with the caveat that Gradles uses a ton of more resources than Ant, as it needs its background daemon sucking up 2GB to pretend being fast.

Then again, gradle builds seems to be more popular than maven these days.

I would think that Gradle is a lot more pleasant to use than Ant...
