> Unlike Microsoft, Google supports 3 development platforms and so their new emulator also had to support 3 platforms
No it didn't. If platform specific solutions make sense then we should use platform specific solutions. Not everything has to be cross platform and 100% identical across all platforms.
Feature parity does not mean the exact same tools on every platform. Trying to be identical across 3 platforms always means adopting the lowest common denominator and always results in being equally shit on every platform.
It's astounding that people still try to ignore the last 30 years of evidence of this.
So Linux users should get the shaft because they're the minority? Android Studio and the emulator work very well on all 3 platforms.

In that case we're fortunate that Xcode isn't cross platform.
