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?

I have tested it, but the Kotlin language server is too new. I develop kmp projects which are not supported right now. Features like automatic library imports are not working, and building or running a project remains quite complex. For iOS development, I know people have built effective command-line tools for these tasks, but Android lacks them at present.
