I very much doubt it. The big selling point for Maven is consistency - when
you move from organization a to organization b (or even from project to project
within a company) the same plugins still work the same way. From what I saw
Gradle is a lot looser (which many might view as a good thing) so it is easier
to customize, but it also means a lot of the standardization is lost. I know
that within my own organization that is one of the huge selling points for our
configuration management team. It doesn't matter what project they are getting
a build from, they can run the same goals and get similar results. If Gradle
gets to that same place then it might be just as acceptable, but then it will
have lost the main feature you are saying is an advantage.
