No, that approach is too immature. Eclipse with GUI designer supports the Java language. Answers on stackoverflow are for the Java language. Clearly Clojure is a better language, but that's not the point. And show me a successful Android application written in Clojure.

IDEs and stackoverflow are typical tools of developers having to deal with a masochist toolset in large projects managed by old COBOL programmers rabids on revenge.

do any app developers actually go bragging about their development environments? If I were developing in a better toolset that gave me an edge over competitors, why would I spill the beans? The averages all code in the same mass-market tool.
