> A lot people tell me Xcode is garbage, Eclipse is a nightmare

Xcode is absolutely sits at the bottom of the IDE rankings, but Eclipse shouldn't even be a concern for Android devs.

Android Studio is a very nice IDE and no Android dev should touch Eclipse ever again. It's a shame it's tied to the Android platform, honestly.

I'd kill to have Android Studio's functionality when developing for iOS. (And no, AppCode doesn't make the cut)

It's not, it also supports Java, C++/C/ObjC, Go, Python, PHP, JS, and many more. Find the other Jetbrains IDEs at https://www.jetbrains.com/

    Android Studio is a fork of InteliJ, you cannot use it as InteliJ, because the options are tailored for Android,

    If you use InteliJ with Android plugin instead, then you will always be behind the curve of the actual Android development, as JetBrains catches up.
