I'd say all three are more or less the same except for slight details.

which should be the convention, I guess latest is based on you need it or not, but first and second, which should use as default?

I would prefer

plugins { ... apply false }

over

buildscript {}

for consistency

Thank you both 🙂

For consistency, brevity, and readability 🙂

Problem with Kotlin is there are a lot of Kotlin plugins, so applying one in the root project cannot match the intention that you want to have kgp in the project, but projects will be jvm, kmp, and so on
