I actually enjoy AS, probably because I've been using JetBrains IDEs for a while so I'm used to it.
Now, the fragmentation is a real issue. Another thing that gripes me is that if you do this a side-project (as I do) it quickly gets overwhelming due to the amount of changes to the libraries, deprecation, new best-practices, etc., at each new version of the SDK.
- Ologn 11y agoYou forgot to mention the SDK changing so much with each new API that the published training manual suggests using deprecated or no longer existing classes and methods. I recently updated some of my old Android code which had been geared toward the early Blackberry-like arrow button navigated Android, not the post-iPhone touchscreen navigated modern Android. That was before even the diverged 2.x phone, 3.x tablet split which was not merged until 4.0. Yes it can be annoying. I appreciate the improvements they have been making each version though, and kind of expect it to be like this prior to maturity.
