> It's a shame it's tied to the Android platform, honestly.

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.

  • How is it a fork of a closed source product, and how is the developer of said closed source product behind the curve of their own product?
