Maven is a bit easier to Google; mainly because it stopped evolving in any meaningful way about a decade ago and nothing is really changing. The XML feels really backwards at this point It seems attempts to move away from that have stalled. It's also a lot slower to run. We're using it on the project I'm currently on and it eats up a lot of my time. Every time I do an mvn spring-boot:run, it goes off and compiles stuff. Even after it just did that and literally nothing changed. Gradle is much better at eliminating unnecessary work.
