You seem wholly unqualified to make this type of judgement
- mswift42 10y agoHe's probably as qualified to make this type of judgement, as someone who opens Android Studio twice a year.
- devopsproject 10y agoThe author has 100% more experience than someone who opened it up one time last week for funsies.
- endorphone 10y agoDo they? Nothing they've demonstrated shows that they do. But I will say that if someone is accustomed to A, and they are forced to use B for a short period, it is incredibly common for those users to bitch and gripe about how terrible B is simply due to lack of acclimation. The fact that they develop for Android infrequently makes their observations less valid to me, not more.
- devopsproject 10y agoI'm saying someone who has tried to actually build a product using a particular tool has a lot more experience than someone who poked around for a bit. The author has legitimate grievances with the product confirmed by many comments in this thread.
- endorphone 10y agoYet the people who report using it frequently have the most positive assessment of it. Shouldn't those people have the most relevant observations? Yes, Android Studio requires a lot of memory, but welcome to 2017 where entry computers have 8GB. Beyond that, their complaints are whiny "this is strange and unfamiliar and threatening to me" bullshit.
- devopsproject 10y agoNo is saying anything even remotely positive about the gui editor. Gradle is extremely complicated. There are real complaints here.
