Your comment tells me you haven't used Android Studio at all, and are making up attributes based on what you assume something written in Java must be.

I use Jetbrains IDEs and Xcode every day. Whenever I have to write any significant amount of code, I switch from Xcode to Appcode.

From my experience, this is true for Jetbrains IDEs, and not for Xcode, particularly for autocomplete. Xcode autocomplete is a pain, and sometimes gets in the way instead of being actually helpful.

I am sorry to disappoint you. I wrote a huge app in Java and in Kotlin. Months of develoments. xCode still years ahead of AS in every sense. Inheriting another company IDE is philosophically wrong, but that's the way Android and Google work. Maybe I love details too much.

So, given that IntelliJ IDEA has been in development for 14 years and XCode for 11, when would you expect Google to release a high-quality IDE if they started from scratch today?
