Worked as a .net dev for ~3 years, and I loved VS, but it had its share of random problems too. I remember it flipping out and suddenly consuming a shitload of CPU and RAM for no apparent reason, even working on fairly small projects. It was nearly impossible to work with it until I switched to a more powerful PC.
Is it really fair to say xCode is not a successful tool? A lot of people use it, and I don't hear enough complains about it.
And what is the most common tool for Android development? I assumed it'd be Android Studio by now, is everyone still on Eclipse?
Those of us that also use the NDK are mostly using Visual Studio, NVidia CodeWorks or trying to keep using Eclipse CDT tooling (there is a fork of it).
Google deprecated the Eclipse CDT and ndk-build support, went silent for two years, announced an initial CLion integration at last Google IO and since Android Studio 1.5, its support or NDK support for that matter, hardly changed.
however it is so baffling that in several conferences I have seen Googlers ask such persons to come forward and explain to them why they don't want to switch.
