&gt; The alternative is Android. Which, if you ever tried to program for, is literally worse than going to the dentist.<p>Parent comment is mostly rubbish, but I&#x27;ll concede that he has a point about programming for Android.<p>Compared to most other systems I&#x27;ve touched, programming for Android feels incredibly heavy and tooling reliant.<p>Android Studio and an updated toolchain has made it less painful than it used to be with Eclipse, but it&#x27;s still nowhere as nice as making a standard Web-app, or WinForms app or something like that.<p>I&#x27;d love to just blame Java, but really... The Android API could take some sweetening up too.
