Outsiders may not know this, but Android Studio is based on JetBrains’ IntelliJ. Among this group, 57 percent use Android Studio as a development environment. Google’s Android Studio is used by 19 percent, but that figure changes drastically when looking at the one in five respondents that work on mobile applications. According to the 2018 StackOverflow survey, 40 percent of developers use either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio. We’re not antitrust experts, but we noticed that independent development environments (IDEs) are another area where Google has an advantage where Microsoft once ruled the roost. The argument is the same one used against Microsoft 20 years ago - that “forcing” OEM manufacturers to bundle its browser gives it an undue advantage in the search advertising market. This week the European Union fined Google €4.3 billion ($5 billion) for abusing Android’s dominant position in the mobile device market.
