Do the emulator and compiler still require SSDs and 16GB+ RAM to be usable? I love Android Studio but it used to always feel very heavy-weight.

I try Android Studio for a bit every now and then.

I have to say it's such a giant bloated thing that it really does not make me want to write native code.

Fortunately, there is a lot of great stuff going on with Progressive Web Apps now. I hope that they will be the future. Developing for the browser is so much leaner.

Looks like haxm has the best performance, however you might want to use hyper-v if you're running other hyper-v containers since it clashes... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32226559/making-hyper-v-...

Developing for the browser is leaner but it's the opposite for end-users. I hope PWAs are the future as well but native is still king for the time being.

Actually, it makes me like Kotlin more than Swift and I’m macOS fan who happens to own an Android phone just for USB-C. It felt good when I published my first APK.

As a user, I totally prefer a web app over a native app.

Man .. don't even get me started .. ok, here we go:

I can use it instantly.

I can remove it instantly.

The sandboxing is much better.

The privacy is much better.

I can link to it from wherever I like.

I can use it on all my devices.

I can copy text and images.

I can change the style (I often enlarge the font for example).

It can not use my battery / camera / phone when it's closed.

...

I feel like I can go on forever.
