When I open Android Studio I often think: "Man, how lucky we developers are, we have such great tools to do our work." I thought the same about Visual Studio with Whole Tomato's Visual Assist. And VS Code is not quite there, it has a chaotic keyboard navigation + highlighting issues, but it is a pretty good tool, for being a text editor.

It's been a few years since I last touched it, but Android Studio is the last thing, that I would ascribe "great tool" to. I ended up coding views by hand in the XML, because the graphical editor would go out of sync or render things wrongly. As far as I remember I also had to manually code in the XML event listeners for clicks, because the GUI did not offer that. All it did benefit me with was project structure and being able to press a button to put an app on a USB connected phone.

You got further than me. Just seeing the size of the monstrosity was enough for me to nope the f out.

Well, that on top of the creepy uneasiness I always feel whenever dealing with companies like Google (or M$, FANG, etc.).
