    Android Studio is a great mobile development IDE. I have found it is the best for both Android and Flutter development. It is created by JetBrains, so any developer used to their products, such as IntelliJ IDEA, will find themselves right at home with this IDE. It is very intuitive so it is a good choice for people needing to learn an IDE quickly.

    Pros
    Google
    • Support for developing in either the emulator or a device means I can quickly diagnose platform specific issues
    • The support for Kotlin and Java is stellar, with projects easily containing both types of code with ease
    • Hot reload support means that I can quickly test changes without waiting for a length build and optimization process
    • Excellent cross platform support means I can develop on macOS, Windows, or Linux without losing functionality between platforms

    Cons
    Google
    • Android Studio needs a very high amount of RAM and a high-end processor to run smoothly, which can't be affordable for everyone.
    • Updates in Gradle files can sometimes come up with a hectic improvement in whole code, which can lead us to improve some code and consume precious time.
    • Multitasking is very difficult in Android Studio due to its heavy consumption of resources.

    • Too simplistic
    • Could not find source revision management integration support
    • Only basic debugging is available
    • Does not have data-science-specific notebooks (but can be installed separately)

    Usability
    Google
    Android Studio is very useful for developers to write the code of Android apps. It provides auto implementation, suggestions, and removes boilerplate codes, which helps developers write clear and optimized code. Number of third party and Jetbrains plugins available to improve the speed of development and help the developer.

    The IDE Python IDLE is a good place to start as it helps you become familiar with the way Python works and understand its syntax.
    This IDE allows you to configure the environment, font, size, colors, .....
    It also looks like any simple text editor for any operating system, I work with Windows or Linux interchangeably, and you don't have to learn to use the IDE before programming.
    Once the IDE is executed you can start programming directly in it.

    Overall support for Android Studio is quite good. As the project is maintained by Google itself, frequent updates are usually made to Android Studio to keep the IDE update and bug-free. Many community forums are also available to help developers across the world if they face any issue.

    Python IDLE support is what the community can give you. As it is free software, it does not have support provided by the manufacturer or by third-parties.
    In any case, for most of the problems that normal users can find, the solution, or alternatives, can be found quickly online.
    As this IDE is made in Python, the support is the same group of Python developers.

    Android Studio is the best possible offering to make android based apps. It's a product by Google and the official integrated development environment for android app development. That's why it is able to offer the easiest to learn and simplest coding environment to developers. But it needs higher performance and is at times slower as compared to Flutter, etc. So that's the only drawback, but overall it's better than most tools for app development.

    It's easy to set up and run quick analysis in Python IDLE on my local machine. The output is direct and easy to read. But sometimes I prefer Jupyter Notebook when the datasets are large, since it would take too long to run on my local machine. It is easier to run Jupyter Notebook on my cloud desktop

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • Positive Impact: No license fee, saves a lot of money upfront.
    • Positive Impact: Faster project delivery, because errors are cached quickly while typing code allowing to fix the code at the same time, and this eliminates the need of fixing bugs which saves time. Saves 20% of my time.
    • Negative Impact: Not works well on low end laptops with RAM less than 16GB.

    • In a short time, we were able to develop several ML models for various teams to make accurate decisions.
    • Beginners can easily understand and adapt to GUI.
    • We could automate several manual validation tasks and so could reduce human intervention.
