Why not? Do I sound insincere?
Because I have used eclipse and recently and I would not call it "stable".
The early access preview ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html ) is definitely prettier than Eclipse. Not that that's a high bar to clear. It also seems to be less stable, which is a high bar to clear. ;) Yeah, I know, pre-release software. The windows seem to take a long time to load, too. That strikes me as odd -- it's one thing when you're starting up some sort of interpreter, but several secon…
Every time I open eclipse I feel like crying. Is just that awful (usability-wise). On my search to replace Eclipse for my android development I think I came across IntelliJ and it was very resources-heavy compared to eclipse which in the end made me give up on it. Let's hope it's more efficient now...

Everything you wrote was true several years ago, but today it's no longer true. Eclipse is pretty stable now since it has OSGI under the hood. UX wise though it's still pretty crappy. I wouldn't be surprised if the new Android IDE is still Eclipse.
I suspect you are suffering from stockholm syndrome. I program Java daily, understand what Eclipse is doing, and I cannot use it for more than a week without shouting at it as it crashes and burns. Perhaps this is a Mac OS X quirk, but I don't really care. And UX wise it isn't just "crappy." It take some serious doing to be less intuitive and newbie-friendly than emacs.
I don't think so. If that were the case, I would have switched to IDEA a long time ago. Going off topic, I don't really like Java very much either. Anyways so what plugins did you have installed and when did you last you use it? What did you use it for - web development or something else like Android development? So far no one has been willing to list which plugins they're using so I'm suspecting that people haven't actually used Eclipse in years.

I've gotten by with Emacs and the command line tools. Full disclosure, I'm the author of this game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.parodychec... I'm hesitant to give up Emacs just to write for Android, but even so I might give this new gizmo a try.
Could you describe your workflow/emacs.d ? I've been thinking of going with Emacs for Java coding for some time, but JDEE always seemed to be missing something (and some of the newer options tended to eat hilarious amounts of resources or required maven)
Android makes this sort of coding easy, because it supports a relatively "small and focused classes" coding style -- much like Java in the 1.0.x days. Compare to, say, J2EE, where you HAVE to have an elaborate IDE just to wrangle the complex classes and all their interrelationships.

But I think this version is not the same as Android Studio community edition.
If you switch the preview released today[1], it's nearly the same as Intellij (even the build numbers almost line up at 130.xx). I just prefer the Intellij preview for some of the features one cannot get in the Android focused IDE Google previewed. [1] http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/05/intellij-idea-13-ear...

I've tried it for Android, Java, and Scala development.
While I'm quite excited about this, I'm surprised by all the hatred for eclipse in this thread. I develop in Java for both fun and profit using eclipse and it's been running solid ever since I followed the tips given in this SO thread (esp putting the jvm in a ramdisk) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/316265/tricks-to-speed-up... . Perhaps those whose sole complaint with eclipse is its performance should try some o…
Those are good suggestions that can make a difference, but if you haven't tried IntelliJ you really should. I used eclipse for years. Wish I could get those years back now. Eclipse is great, but IntelliJ is better.
This is definitely awesome. I look forward to the stable release and moving away from Eclipse. Does anyone know if Android Studio will also be available as a plug-in for people who already have IntelliJ installed? I'm not too keen on having multiple versions of the same IDEs, that I have to each customize and maintain.
"You can see the updated Android support in the Early Access Preview of IntelliJ IDEA v13 that is opened today...This EAP build includes all of the new features of Android Studio except for the new project wizard and the AppEngine cloud endpoints integration. These latter features will also appear in our EAP builds in the coming weeks."
