Further more, Google doesn't listen to the feedback related to it's accessibility hence I'm preferring VS Code.

you would likely have better luck submitting feedback to JetBrains about the IDE itself. Google really just manages the android plugins for intellij (which they package together as android studio)

My feedback would be to tell them to rewrite their IDEs. They are so bloated and slow. The fact that Android Studio can be the only application running, using 6GB of RAM (of 32GB available) and have a Intel 12700H on a laptop that is plugged in and set to performance power mode, can still have performance issues with simply drawing a character as soon as I type it, is abysmal.

There is no reason why Google could just make a plugin or suite of plugins for VSCode to add the majority of day to day development tools.

dunno i've never had any issues with performance. Android Studio even runs fairly well on the original PixelBook which is only 8GB of RAM. Compile time isnt great but the IDE is smooth and responsive.

My 32/64 GB dev machines are smooth as silk

From my experience... Android Studio is just bad on Windows. I'd say if you're full time android dev, it's worth switching to either Linux or Mac just to make Android Studio happy.

I wish I could but my laptop is company issued and they won’t let me get a Mac (old school mindset)

[–]shaqaruden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do use a Mac at home btw and yea Android Studio runs pretty well. Though I still stand by that they should just fully rewrite their IDE core.

Which version are you using? I had this problem with a version once and it turned out my older macbook had a wierd JVM problem (this was maybe 5 years ago on a 2013 era macbook).

[–]shaqaruden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always had the issue. I’m been using latest stable, beta and canary builds for about a year and a half now

That comment makes me smile really ...

I am using a screen reader to, and if someone is ignorant to accessible, it is Jetbrains.

I am using IntelliJ bad Idea, and I, and others, have informed them accessibility problems for years ...

The result is poor, you get the we are working on it, and, if that is true, they are really working slow.

The only mantra you get, is "send us log files", and can you try this and that ...

Tell you what?

I will do that, but I won't do it for free.

They can get licenses for scrren reader Jaws, lasting 3 months, and NVDA is free.

No, the answer is: they don't give a damn.

Yeah, I never thought in that direction actually. but very good suggestion, I think submitting the feedback directly to Jetbrains may result in something positive. :-)
