Uh huh. That extra second you spend launching the app obviously matters so much.

IDE
IDE part is easy, just use Eclipse! I found latest iterations to be great. Today, in time where almost every developer can afford i7 and 16GB RAM, major shortcomings of Eclipse (startup time and memory usage) are non-issues. Android plugin for Eclipse is great, you can do create whole app with it, including GUI, packaging and publishing. What I see as a major problem is language. C/C++ is IMHO too low level for app development of current times (2012), Python would need really good hotspot VM, and I don't think Canonical has resources for that. I would go with Java with some great Linux/GTK integration, which is basically what Android did with Dalvik, if you think about it. Of course, in case of Java, they would need agreement with Oracle, that cover everything and everybody until eternity.

You should not tend to go crazy and take direct advantage of improved computer-performance, as these grown ressources should rather benefit actual computation instead of getting cut in the interest of a bloated DE like Eclipse.Last edited by Akka; 31 October 2012, 03:35 PM.

I don't see why everyone makes a big deal about visual studio, IMO it isn't that great of an IDE.
