Android Studio, and in turn, Jetbrain's IDE are an absolute godsend for productivity. Quick actions, macros, shortcut egornomics, etc. are top notch and make me a happy developer. I would even dare to say, it's a better IDE than Visual Studio.

I'm a JavaScript / typescript guy, so for me these past few years VS code has been leaps and bounds ahead of WebStorm w/ extensions,etc.

But lately I've been using Datagrip for SQL stuff,and geez, did Jetbrain crush the competition w/ this product.

...once I switched the shortcuts to match VS Code's, that is

Android Studio has such a fat ass. Every release it, and gradle, want more memory to do the same thing. I'm hoping that the tools devs improve or review the resource usage of the gradle plugin, etc. VS Code and the flutter tooling are svelte in comparison.

I'm was a long time Visual studio user (when it was called Visual C++), and Android Studio preview was my "gateway drug" into the Jetbrains IDEs.

If anyone uses Resharper, I highly recommend trying Rider.

Seriously. I've gone back to vim completely (from my previous mix of Studio and vim). Browser tabs and gradle, alone, max out my laptop's 8gb ram. If I were to throw Studio into the mix, I'd have to close Firefox!

Could you elaborate? VS Code is faster/leaner than WebStorm, that's for sure, but are there any specific workflows that you feel VSCode is better than WS?

Yeah I agree that has been the case but lowering memory usage has been a target of recent for Android Studio - See https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/index.html#3-1...

It's even using less memory than chrome lately.
