If there's anything you can credit the Google team for, it's using IntelliJ as the basis of the Android IDE.


Which is one of the reasons I am happy not having to deal with it every single day.

Android Studio requires a gaming rig to run properly, Android developer forums are filled with discussions on how to not use it in pain.


IntelliJ is amazing though.


I would have preferred them sticking with Eclipse. Sure, the Android plugins for Eclipse were pretty bad, but that was all Googles fault. They could have just fixed their plugins.
