Google killed all of the outside tooling by messing with their own variant of IntelliJ and build system. (Especially the latter. Eclipse plugin for gradle w/ android support is hopelessly incomplete, killing eclim which was the one reasonable code completion software.)
Apparently writing an IntelliJ plugin of a reasonable quality is much harder than a Python or other script. Who would have thought. And a glorified text editor takes GBs of RAM, likewise a glorified Makefile.
(The resource watcher is built into Android Studio, but ignores GPU memory. To do that you have to run GPU debugger, a separate memory hog.)
