Exactly this. Even "Instant Run" has often been slower for me than an Eclipse run. Since I don't have a Core i7 with 16Gb of RAM, I stick with Eclipse for Android dev. I'm using Andmore (fork of Google's deprecated ADT plugin). I still use Gradle for the build configuration, but using the Gradle Eclipse AAR plugin (https://github.com/ksoichiro/gradle-eclipse-aar-plugin https://github.com/ksoichiro/gradle-eclipse-aar-plugin) I can simply edit the build.gradle file, run "gradle generateEclipseDependencies", and then import the generated Eclipse projects. Bonus being that I can "gradle assembleRelease" my app.
