Honest question: are other jetbrains IDEs "feel" similar to the Android Studio one that can be downloaded for free?
I installed it a couple of weeks ago to modify some android app, and boy it gave me vibes of the old Eclipse : sluggish Java feel , with "stuff" happening all around and being slow to render basic editor stuff.
They can be slowish to start, but IME are fine performance wise for all the features they provide.

Android Studio is generally one generation behind mainstream Intellij and has its own modifications on top of it. It depends on your target language. With the exception of CLion, all other forks of Intellij work much faster than Android Studio from my experience.
