I develop on Windows and don't see the value on such examples.

Never used Genymotion, rather HAXM or real devices.

There are quite a few nice GUIs for Git, also no one has forced me to use Git so far.

I will become productive with Android Studio the day they are able to match what I already had with Ant, ndk-build and Eclipse ADT/CDT in terms of IDE/build performance and C++ support.

Keyboard shortcuts are the least that I care about in Studio.

Genymotion is miles and miles ahead of HAXM. Real Devices are best, though. But using real devices is much easier on OS X, due to not having to even think about drivers. I had to use Windows at a big corporate gig for a while, and that was one of the absolute worst parts of it: drivers.

It's pretty pervasive. Just about any major library is in git. Most projects are using git, too.

I use git on Windows every day and don't have any problem. I mostly use command line (the vim shell works just fine for entering commit messages), and TortoiseGit for when I want to look at history. For a difftool, I use BeyondCompare (company already had a license), which is really good.

The type of enterprise customers we have just don't go adding projects if they aren't approved by legal and IT departments.

Usually the projects are SDK only.

My current customer is using subversion and the third party projects, if any, use the internal Maven repository or vendoring for the C++ libraries.
