!rant, but friendly advice.
I see all those jokes about Android Studio being too heavy, and while I completely agree, want to ask you guys something:
Have you increased the memory it can use in .vmoptions?
Mine lagged as hell, but was using only about 1GB of ram.
After slight change in that file, it finally started working like it should from the beginning.

    Also that heavy IDEs, build systems, and VMs are meant to run on powerful computers, they're not engineered for anaemic Core i3 laptops.

    Android studio is using way more resources than IntelliJ (of which android studio is a fork of) and IntelliJ has more features.

    So complaining about it is a valid thing.

    *Only* 1GB RAM.... jeez where is this world going... remember a TSR program (google it kiddos) I wrote back in the dats, it used 384Bytes.

    @JohanO time flies. And 1 GB for IDE is not that much nowadays, that's all.

    @Codex404 I'm not sure if more features, I think that Android Studio loads tons of plugins that IntelliJ doesn't, by default. But I'd have to check that tomorrow.
