I am really sick of hearing "technologists" constantly shitting on not-even-very-old tech-slash-software because it doesn't jive with their cloud-infected view of the world. We devs are real assholes in this regard -- if an app doesn't work perfectly we rip it to shreds over incredibly arbitrary and fussy criteria.
Like the Tools > Android thing. Not the best design decision? Sure. But jesus christ does this guy seem to hate that. A lot of us grew up using programs like this and I find the location of the Android submenu in Tools to be perfectly fine. I mainly use IntelliJ for Ruby and all my Ruby tools live in the Tools menu too. If you understand IntelliJ as a Visual Studio-style polyglot platform, then the design makes sense. If this guy would take a moment to understand what he is working with, perhaps he would have much less difficulty.
- st3v3r 10y agoNo, this rightfully deserves to be ripped apart. (Not specifically the Tools > Android thing.) This isn't a small company struggling to put something out. This is Google. There is no excuse for the defects and faults that Android Studio has.
- noxToken 10y agoWhat's most baffling though is that there is a search bar. You don't have to actually navigate the menus to find each and every setting. Type in your term, and every sub-menu with an applicable setting will be displayed. From there, just use a bit of logic to filter through the incorrect options.
