Overall Satisfaction with Android Studio

Android Studio is the primary IDE we use to develop our product.

Pros

  • Seamless integration with Kotlin, the main Android programming language.
  • Custom plugins support.
  • Good integration with Gradle, the main Android build system.

Cons

  • It requires quite a bit of computational power to operate properly -> you need a powerful machine to be able to use it on 100%
  • I don't have those numbers, but I am fairly certain that without Android Studio, we wouldn't be able to achieve our company goals.
It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software.
Microsoft VSC is a great product that can be adapted for Android development, but it requires significantly more effort than using Android Studio.

Do you think Android Studio delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Android Studio's feature set?

Yes

Did Android Studio live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Android Studio go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Android Studio again?

Yes

It is ideal to write Android code, but requires some specific plugins/settings to be able to work with other types of systems/languages (Python, JS, etc.)
