No, it's not. This year I still had to upgrade all my projects (I do this yearly) and they still broke in a myriad of different ways. Most of them fortunately and perhaps ironically the solution was one Google search away. I actually _like_ Java, so it's not that I hate Android, but frankly, I have no idea what it is even doing downloading and generating gigabytes of crap with inscrutable huge log files. Most of my applications' Java/GUI parts are no more complex than a hello world -- many times I find it easier to just rewrite them from scratch than even try "upgrading" them using Android Studio. The Android tooling is basically a textbook definition of oversized enterprisey software. I really wish there was just a frigging (resource) compiler, linker and maybe packer that I could invoke from the command line in simple steps.
