I don't think it was a "discussion" as per having an argument - it was
more of a "how does this thing work" type discussion... I thought Hoss
was running a "local" install of gradle (he wasn't) and I wanted to
point out the "right way" of using the wrapper without fully
explaining the underlying problem (which I should have done in the
first place).

Any new tool and workflow will bring doubts and questions and it'll
take some time to find oneself comfortable within its new bounds. I
wasn't any different when I started working with gradle. My current
understanding of how it works (externally) allows me to be convinced
that it's a good, very versatile replacement for ant (or maven). It
really is more of a programming language (and ecosystem) more than a
rule-based traditional build tool, so it'll take some time to sink in.
I think we're in good shape though, even if things are not complete --
the aspect-like structure of the current build allows for isolated,
controlled changes, more and more committers are getting the hang of
gradle itself.
