I seriously think this one is kinda biased. I've been a long time Android developer and working with ios devs in parallel. Recently it's true that Android development is becoming a better experience but still not even close to ios. Have you ever really experienced shitty jar mismatchs or wrongly generated R files or trying to fix that shitty class paths ? Those are really making Android development xp shitty and painful.


I've had none of those problems. I made the decision early on not to use Eclipse though. Maybe that helped?


These problems are largely due to the eclipse android build system being a bit of a hack.

This is changing though - android studio (and soon ADT in eclipse, IIRC) are using a totally new build system based on Gradle, which is awesome.
