I would argue Kotlin is a lot more fun than Java. As for the Fragment lifecycle, it still sucks, but no one forces you to use it. Lots of apps never even use on

I would argue Kotlin is a lot more fun than Java. As for the Fragment lifecycle, it still sucks, but no one forces you to use it. Lots of apps never even use one fragment. Google simply made fragments hoping everyone would make their UIs into reusable components which work better on tablets.
