Just the other day I installed ADT and decided to give it another try (I had played with it back the whole thing was brand new).

The story for developers is quite poor. Emulation is very slow (you can't get close to real life snapdragon speed) and then you have Eclipse (which seems to be a hate it or love it).

I've done both iPhone and Compact Framework development, and despite objective-c, iphone development is far superior to the other two.

Anyways, these types of issues, the lack of core features like USB Host and [apparently] animated GIFs, keep making me think i should actually learn Silverlight for WM7.



Android development doesn't require Eclipse.
