That's mostly Gradle. Jetbrains IDEs are not exactly lean, but Android's use of Gradle is an exercise in patience, even on the command line.

I imagine Android Studio will switch to Bazel sometime in the near future. Every other non-Android Java shop seems to be rewriting their Gradle build files as Bazel configs nowadays. Gradle and Apache Groovy just don't scale.
