What people complain about in Application Development Platforms
Slow builds and runaway resource consumption — 16 complaints across 4 products, 3 ideasDevelopers across Android Studio, Android NDK, and related tools consistently report that builds take anywhere from several minutes to literal hours, primarily due to Gradle configuration that requires trial-and-error guesswork with daemon settings. Machines with 16GB of RAM still feel starved, laptops overheat during normal builds, and startup alone is slow enough to break focus. The problem isn't one bad config — it's that there's no feedback loop telling developers what's actually eating their time and memory.
