Yeah. There&#x27;s something to be said for having a highly developed intelligence for building great IDEs and libraries at the  _organization level_ rather than just at the individual programmer level. Despite its reputation for hiring the very best programmers in the world, Google&#x27;s ability to create a really great developer toolchain for Android didn&#x27;t measure up to what Microsoft has been doing for decades.<p>It seems like Google has tried to pursue a cheap shortcut to IDE greatness, at first by building a plugin for Eclipse, and then, by putting some money into a relationship with IntelliJ and Gradle (who truly are excellent at what they do).<p>But still, Google has not brought the excellence of organization and deep commitment fully in-house.
