For me, the biggest downside to AS is its reliance on graddle. I used AS pretty extensively and I honestly feel like the Eclipse workflow was much better.

I'm curious about Xamarin. I've been weary of cross platform tools since the days of trying to use phone gap but I understand the current gen of tools are much better.

Xamarin does not "wrap" the API in the traditional, it just provides a binding - calling a method in C# actually calls the underlying native method. The classes are just proxy classes and do not actually have anything more/less that does not exist in native code.
