My one maven experience was extremely... slow. I wanted to try out Apache ServiceMix and it required maven to build an eclipse project. Following their instructions, I kicked off maven and then waited what must have been an hour for it to collect all the dependencies and put everything together into a project that I could import into eclipse. It worked, but didn't leave me terribly impressed.
