Android Studio on its deathbed. Just release VSCode plugin and kill it for good, it has been a buggy, slow mess for the last 3 years or so.

    Debugging and local testing is the main remaining use case of IDEs. Especially so for mobile apps where you need to manage one or more emulators.

      Not on Android, where debugger works once in a blue moon.

  If you think Android Studio has been a bug in the last 3 years, you haven't used it back in the days of Android Studio Beta. It has come a long way.

    Must be a web dev who adamantly uses VSCode for everything

  I can't be the only one with a severe aversion to language/platform specific IDEs. "Oh no, you can't write Python in Vim, you need to get Pycharm!" "iOS apps? Don't try anything except XCode." IDEs are (were? :-/) a very personal choice. Maybe I'm an AI but I would have loved a CLI-centric workflow. It would have kept options open.

  I haven't touched Android dev in the better part of a decade. Is Android Studio notably worse than IntelliJ? Cause I use that every day for work and I love it.

    Android Studio is IntelliJ with tweaks. Not sure what that dude is going on about, noone sane wants VSCode over that.

  It has been like that since they dropped Eclipse. And those of us that used NDK, had to wait until JetBrains came up with Clion, for Google to finally offer an alternative. Apple, mostly in-house, Google, mostly out sourced to JetBrains.
