> Are Google's development environments better than what Apple offers? They're really not that great. Android Studio is a hacked-up version of IntelliJ that doesn't feel like a unified experience. Error highlighting often gets out of sync until I rebuild the whole project. Design preview sometimes stops updating, displays an error overlay with a stack trace, and requires manual refreshing and rebuilding to fix. Updating various Google components can be a series of manual clicks and restarts. Gradle sometimes goes out of sync and requires manual rejiggering to get working again. And so on. > Microsoft certainly has good dev tools If any one of the Big Three really gets developer tooling, it's Microsoft. Visual Studio is an absolute joy to use, and it has the best Vim integration of any non-Vim editor I've tried. C# is getting better and better with every release; I wish I could use it everywhere.
