| You mean Android Studio will be canned in 2018 max with a reasonable estimate of 2016-2017? |

| Isn't Android Studio based on IntelliJ and not a product developed from ground up? And Android Studio has second order revenue from the playstore. I wouldn't be even surprised if internally the AS team's financials are counted under the Playstore umbrella. |

I still wouldn't trust a Google product to stick around, but these hints aren't a reliable oracle either. | | |
| ▲ | devsda 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | When AS was launched Android was the only other viable option and it is the same even today. I don't believe Google's AI products will reach and/or sustain the same dominance as Android. It is a product launched in the hype cycle of AI. Google has plenty of other products (launched during hype cycles) that are gathering dust. That's not a guaranteed signal that it will meet the same fate but its something strong enough to be wary of. | |
| ▲ | deeringc 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's interesting to think that Google's Antigravity is a forked version of MSFT's VS Code, which uses a browser engine built by Google, which they forked from Apple, which they forked from KHTML. |
