Out of interest, have you ever used Jetbrains products like IntelliJ IDEA and friends? Even back when I was writing C#, years ago, Visual Studio was way less productive without their ReSharper plugin.
Personally, I've never seen Visual Studio so unproductive as with ReSharper installed. The number of colleagues over the years I've had to work to convince them to remove or disable ReSharper to get any work done on projects has been too many. ("I hate Visual Studio because it is too slow." "Do you have ReSharper installed? What happens when you disable it?" "Wow, Visual Studio is really fast now." Surprise.) I've had employers install it by default, I didn't like using it, and I made sure that my employer wasn't paying for a license directly for me when I uninstalled it.
If Android Studio is any indication, I don't see what the fuss is about IntelliJ either. But some of that is certainly just lack of familiarity because I only open up Android Studio when I have to.
It may just be that my experience was a good while back and VS has improved since then. At the time the built-in static analysis really wasn't up to scratch.
