The last time I did any Android work it was painful. That was back with Eclipse though, I have heard Android Studio improves things and now with things like Intel HAXM apparently the emulator isn't painfully slow. The best experience, by a long shot, is Windows Phone. Shame nobody uses it. iOS isn't too bad with Xcode if you live fully in the Apple world (Obj-C, Swift) but Xcode is funky with C++ which can be frustrating at times. Microsoft have seriously upped their C++ game in recent years. Now with VS Community being free for the majority of people there has never been a better time to give things another shot if you were put off MS in the past.
