I suppose that since this is over 2 years old (Jan 20, 2018) all of the developers complaints have been addressed.

  you must be joking, it's trending today because it still resonates with us.

  I wouldn't bet on it. I tried to write stuff for android a decade ago and it was horrible. Then tried 5 years later when they released Android Studio. Still roughly just as horrible. I'm not keen on trying it now. I'll give it another 5 years or a decade. And it's not that I have thin skin. I find web development pretty nice and have no qualms about all of the js libraries.

    I tried my hand at an Android app.. the experience made me feel stupid. There's so much boilerplate and yet none of them guides you towards any sensible app architecture. I'm a systems programmer, but I was able to pick up Vue and Bootstrap and cobble together a functional dev UI in a week, despite not knowing JavaScript. I tried and failed with vanilla Android Studio, then decided to try the "Android Jetpack" guides which led me to third-party libraries with broken codegen. It's just not fun, you know? Apps should be fun to make.

      Android reminds me of MFC for Windows development. Instead of reasonable way to build my app I get unguided tour over implementation details of the platform.
