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. runs for cover

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

For me, "the competition" is the MySQL CLI. Is there and advantage to Datagrip assuming that one is reasonably proficient in SQL (at least the MySQL dialect)? Serious question. After running \# I've got table and field completion, and all the readline (pseudo-emacs) shortcuts work.

Yeah, when running on my gamer ring. Android Studio's performance made me loose interess on JetBrain products. Xeon class CPU, SSD and at least 16 GB RAM should be written on the box.

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.

I am surprised Google have not acquired JetBrains by now. Android Studio being based on their IntelliJ platform and Kotlin getting first class support in Android is investing a hell of a lot in a relatively small foreign company. Kinda strange as Google have acquired larger companies for less (less reliance not value).

Yes yes I'm breaking the HN guidelines but why has this been downvoted? All I see is a logical opinion.
