A reduced code base

Skipping the POM reduces the amount of code you have to maintain. This can be particularly beneficial in smaller projects or proof-of-concept implementations, where quick development is more important than long-term maintainability.

While a “text-based” approach has its merits, it’s crucial to note that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is intended to remain highly reliable, reducing the amount of maintenance required.
