I find the NDK fine to work with - but I'm writing a game which is entirely C plus some embedded Lua/Moonscript.

I develop on Linux (Ubuntu), with a make file set up to build for desktop or for Android with one command, and it just works. Took a little bit of time (maybe an hour) to get the build scripts set up for Android initially, but after that it's been great.

As I'm writing a game I'm using entirely custom UI etc. so I don't worry about not being able to access the normal Android UI classes and such. I do a little bit of JNI for loading resources but that was trivial to write. My game engine works exceedingly well cross platform for desktop X86 and Android/ARM.

My email is in my profile if you have any questions.
