I feel the opposite. For 99% of use cases, a plain maven pom file works. If you need something custom, you should think hard about why the existing workflow doesn't fit you before moving on. I think maven mostly gets hate from hip developers because it uses xml, but the tool itself works fine.
I've spent ages more getting simple js apps to build correctly. It "just works" in java, and has for ages (thus archaic).
