10/03/2018, 2:47 PMi just find it really annoying that every time i make a new project, i have to wait 5~ minutes running

10/03/2018, 2:52 PMIndeed, Gradle is usually faster, but I've also always found it more finicky and brittle. It's all tradeoffs.
A couple weeks ago I ran into a weird issue where the Gradle daemon refused to run because it couldn't find the Android SDK. I have never done any sort of android development on this machine, yet out of the blue it decided I should have it.

10/03/2018, 2:54 PMDid you find a solution? I ended up manually overwriting the wrapper to a newer version, which seemed to work, but I'm still not sure what the problem was.

10/03/2018, 2:59 PMI actually ran into that exact same issue last weekend (it was expecting an Android SDK), and the solution was also upgrading the wrapper 🧌

10/03/2018, 2:59 PMi feel like gradle is like a 90% complete solution, and i can never remember how it all works, it’s kind of confusing

10/03/2018, 3:01 PMWeird, it must have been much more widespread than I thought. Now I really want to know what triggered it.

10/03/2018, 5:05 PMIt happened to me around the time I was trying to update to the Kotlin 1.3 RC from an earlier version (1.2.1 or something?) I also had a couple of new libraries I was pulling in, so maybe something between those two operations.
