containers) when defining configurable parts of a plugin (tasks, extensions, domain objects).  The Provider API provides a consistent way to set conventions, wire related configuration together (extension <- domain object <- task) and avoid evaluation ordering problems.

The Gradle codebase has evolved over time and has a mixture of simple getter/setter methods, Provider API and things in between.  It can be hard to follow best practices because Gradle provided types are reused in unexpected ways...
