Gradle brings the following disadvantages that makes our day to day harder in a developer viewpoint perspective:

• Poor Quarkus integration

This is not really an issue with Gradle, but with Quarkus. However, if we're committed to keep using Quarkus, this is a pain. Example of issues: (1) random failures when building in parallel; (2) using Gradle daemons for builds

• Incompatible with JUnit latest versions: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/rhsm-subscriptions/pull/4210

• Hard to troubleshoot build/test failures

Need to scroll up to spot what the failures are.

• Need Intellij Ultimate to work

We can't easily use our project with Intellij Community Edition. Maven is supported instead.

• Using an old version of Gradle 8.5. I can't upgrade to Gradle 8.12 (latest) because it can't detect Java JDK in Linux.

Have had issues trying to use VS Code with gradle because of the annotation processing that the internet says hasn't been an issue with maven
