The defaults you are using just do not work for me so I would not be
happy supporting the pull request, but then my opinion doesn't actually
count :-)
However, I think things could be better than they are now. Everyone
having to know the IntelliJ IDEA XML DOM is a good argument for getting
this handled in the Gradle plugin. The problem is managing change in
IntelliJ IDEA in the plugin: will the plugin be release in synchrony
with IntelliJ IDEA rather than with Gradle?

In the past I found the only way to get a proper project file was the
cleanIdea idea way of working and have also got into this workflow. I
cannot remember what the problem was but I found that the idea task did
not take care of all the problems. However without actual data and
example this is just potentially false memory.
I am finding that I have to manually set the source and test source
directories. Which is unexpected and a teeny bit frustrating.
There are similar project initialization issues with the Eclipse project
build but I don't know anyone who has the equivalent initialization to
have this handled.
