I don't like the idea of showing the emulator or screen mirror inside Android Studio. And in general all ideas to stuff into it everything that used to be separate tools.
The emulator, inseparable from Studio by default, was added like a couple of years ago, and now in Electric Eel they also added an analog of scrcpy as the same panel. Everything in one window. And this is actively pushed and advertised by Google. Like they made a cool feature.
I couldn't understand for a long time why I don't like this, looks cool, but I just came to the conclusion that it's not convenient.
First, it takes up a good quarter of the screen, squeezing code to indecency, well or other panels like logs. It looks strikingly ridiculous when there's already a preview by code (like Compose or XML).
Second, every person who works with computers for a long time develops muscle memory to use system hotkeys like Alt-Tab. You always know that this will switch the window to the next one and live peacefully with this. But if the device screen is shown in Studio, then some other hotkey is responsible for showing it. Really don't want to remember new hotkeys.
I don't understand why this is just one of Studio's panels, if it's conceptually not related to code. My workflow never implies that I need code and device screen simultaneously.
