No need to use kapt to kill compilation times. Data Binding is good enough. We started using it a year ago and since then instant run does not work and the debugger takes three minutes to start. Sometimes it mixes generated classes and we have to do a full clean / rebuild. Since then we have introduced Kotlin and Dagger and we are super happy with it. As with Dagger, the learning curve is pretty steep. Having it working with modules + activities + fragments + architecture components has been a real challenge but we love it. For those who are struggling with Dagger: version 2.10 introduced major changes for Android, for good reasons, but it made much harder to use and understand. Many tutorials focus on Dagger < 2.10. You probably should ignore those. And for those who are going crazy with compilation times, Jrebel for Android is a huge time saver. It has an incremental compiler which works with annotation processors. They will stop supporting it in one year, but even then I think it is worth using it. Who knows: if enough people buy licenses maybe they reconsider killing it.
