For tab completionistas, it stinks that the build/ directory has a name very similar to build.gradle. Quick typing like vi build[TAB] ideally completes to vi build.gradle, but actually raises an annoying prompt to disambiguate build/ vs build.gradle. In the interest of faster Gradle configuration tweaking, consider a more distinct name for the build directory, similar to how Maven uses pom.xml vs target/ for its configuration file and build directory respectively.
… is it too late to do this in Gradle 3?
