Maven is simple, works extremely well and behaves pretty sane. IDE integration is amazing and unless you write a build/deploy pipeline you don't even need to call a single mvn command. What do you not like about it?

I can't believe he's comparing Maven to npm.

I wouldn't piss on npm if it was on fire.

Where did I say that? I asked about CocoaPods. I’ve used Maven, NPM and NuGet. No one is even answering my question.

Cocoapods is a dependency manager for iOS/MacOS projects. Works more like NPM.
