I am no expert on Android, but I have only heard negativity about the UI framework from developers.

And as for the toolchain, I can't speak for mobile development in particular. But generally speaking, VStudio smacks Eclipse silly.

I was going to comment on the fact that Microsoft has released a lot of their OWN tooling for Android. But I wanted to issue a quick correction to your comment: Android development hasn't been Eclipse based in years. Google went over towards encouraging IntelliJ, and Android Studio is based on it.

And still isn't able to deliver a sane experience for developing NDK based apps on Android, as what Microsoft produced in around one year.

Or an emulator as good as what Microsoft created for Android.

I really don't know what all those PhDs are doing in Mountain View, code review from offshored work?!
