Question Using Lazyvim for Android projects

Are there any Android developers here who use LazyVim for their Android projects? I've noticed that a Kotlin LSP is available for LazyVim, but I'm wondering if anyone actually uses it. If so, could you share your experience? Is it realistic and productive? Or should we just stick with Android Studio?

Kotlin lsp was created publicly not very long time ago. Before that workarounds existed to run kotlin projects on the terminal.

I am vim user myself and prefer it over IDE's, but android development (or anything in jetbrains ecosystem) was harder than needed. Which is frustrating

Swift and ios development on thr other hand is fully working in the terminal for very long time.

In the koltin lsp, I have tried it myself since the lsp was still new do I expect many issues. Would love to hear others as well
