User Testimonials
	Android Studio	Spyder
Likelihood to Recommend	Android Studio is the only platform you should consider for Android development. I have found that nothing else comes close in terms of documentation or support. There is always the temptation to develop for Android using a cross platform toolkit, such as Xamarin, but unless your app is incredibly simple, you will find your self wrestling with the toolkit more than actually creating your product. If you have any Android projects still in Eclipse, you should upgrade these to Android Studio - the backwards compatibility for older versions of Android is very good, with issues only occurring with debugging on older (Lollipop or below) devices. The only scenario Android Studio is not suitable for is cross-platform development. There is no way to share code between iOS, macOS, or Windows projects with Android Studio, unless you are developing a game in C++. If you wish to develop cross platform mobile apps, I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio. Incentivized PC Peter Chapman Senior System Architect Read full review	Spyder is well suited if you're limited on hardware. You have to work with single code file. You need to quickly write some code and test it. Apart from this if you want to have a look at your variables then you can make use of Spyder. If you're working with Anaconda navigator then this can be the best to start with as it can be installed with single click there. Incentivized RS Ranu Singh Technology Manager Read full review
Pros	It is very lightweight and resource management is done pretty well in this IDE. It boots up very fast as compared to other development IDEs. It is not a memory hungry IDE. Even novices can work with this IDE very easily. Incentivized KV Kunal Verma Software Engineer Intern Read full review	Debugging of your existing code Generates figures very quickly as part of a figures tab which lets users understand results quickly Different layouts are available for the software which will give the users freedom to decide what layout works best for them Incentivized Saransh Dikshit Graduate Research Assistant Read full review
Cons	Debugging is not that great, it can show some specific details for a better understanding of the issue. It is a RAM eater tool, its hard to do multitask along with the android studio. Sometimes after updating the android studio, we have to face so many random issues with the SDK or codes. Incentivized LS Lokesh Singh Jr. App Developer Read full review	Colors in code format Add a broadcast to share the project with friends Contains more than one important language such as Python Ammar Aboalrub Freelancer Read full review
Usability	It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is fairly straightforward to use. Pretty much good to go as soon as you install it. The IDE itself is very user friendly, and it is only limited by whatever limitations Python has as a language. Great for those who want to run their scripts quickly or do some Python programming without fussing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	The support of the community is very good. You can find many solutions on sites like StackOverflow and Brazilian sites like GUJ, for example. Google documentation about Android Studio is very good too. I have some Android developer friends, so they have the knowledge to support me when I need it. Incentivized Marcelo Araujo Desenvolvedor de software Read full review	Most of data scientists or data engineers are either using ec2 on the cloud or Atom or PyCharm locally. It is a bit hard to find people who are still using Spyder and have the sight of the IDE and can help you to answer your question. Incentivized Xiaotong Song Business Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and NetBeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for things like Flutter development. VS Code is quickly becoming popular across languages but Android Studio is still at the top in my opinion. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I have chosen Spyder because it's free and open-source that comes with properly documented comments in the code. I have been using Spyder for more than 2 years and it always feels good to work with Spyder every time start my work. In Spyder, we have three windows one for man code window, idle window, and the other is for running your code and analyze. So to test a particular code I use the idle window to see what is going to be the result when I use this set of codes. That the main reason, I use Spyder. Dilip Jain Data Engineeer Read full review
