Sweet can't wait to repeat the gradle update cycle!

* "Gradle update? Performance babyyyy"

* "Oh, <obscure feature that needed to be hacked around> no longer works. It's okay, let's fix it.

* "Oh, no, it's actually not backwards compatible and I have to figure out what kind of awkward cast as an <AndroidPluginInterface> I have to do because gradle still doesn't expose proper types in half their kotlin DSL"

* "Right, entire build cache gone. It's okay, 15 minutes."

* "right! Now let's get an incremental change and see the perfo... Right, kapt still isn't incremental"

Right, kapt still isn't incremental" Why isn't your KAPT incremental? Kapt supports incremental annotation processing that is enabled by default. Currently, annotation processing can be incremental only if all annotation processors being used are incremental.

androidx.room is only incremental starting from 2.3.0-beta3. No stable release yet.

I don't see how issue of one plugin is a problem of a tool.
