I used to enjoy Android about 6-7 years ago. Had a handful of small apps I was proud of.
But god forbid you step away for 6 to 12 months -- rebuilding my once happy app becomes literally the only thing I'll be blowing a day on getting to work again.
Often times I'll just say fuck it and reinstall Android Studio from scratch.
The joy of it all is gone for me.
And then on top of all that, you never know when Google will decide your app (that's been on the Play store for years) is suddenly in violation of SOMETHING and pulls the plug without an explanation, ignoring appeals. (Had this happen to me a couple times.)
With no interest in iOS, and no real alternatives, all that adds up to me eventually retiring from mobile dev in general. Dammed shame, because I had some fun for a while.
