> I am fairly confident that people still use Apache Ant as build system

As in: there are still (older) projects around that haven't (yet) migrated away from Ant? Sure.

As in: Ant is still the go-to build system or at least still commonly used? No, not at all. When I create a new Java project in IntelliJ for example, I can choose between Maven and Gradle as the build system. Ant isn't even offered as an option.
