Right. Fundamental flaws in the architecture that they try to paper over with some half-baked library that stays stuck in beta forever, is poorly documented, has major bugs and oversights, and in the end does much less than what you would expect. See: databinding library. I normally try not to be so vitriolic on HN, but I'm so frustrated with Google's handling of the Android API that I can't help it.
