Saw this mentioned on twitter a couple of times. The impression seemed to
be 'Google deserting Eclipse in favour of IntelliJ'. The link doesn't seem
to imply that at all. It implies 'Android, from Eclipse to Eclipse _and_
IDEA'. There are still instructions on getting the ADT bundle for Eclipse.

Did something else surface at Google I/O that would suggest Android tools
for Eclipse are being abandoned?

I decided not to comment anything, because I'm asking, not suggesting a trend, but I see that the mere subject was enough to be interpreted as an opinion :-)

Seriously, as I can't attend Google I/O, this seems to be the better place to have an informed discussion. My starting point is that it's quite strange for a steward to explicitly support more than one IDE, being Oracle a one-of-its-kind case because the IDE multiplicity comes out of heritage. I also have some more points, but they are merely pre-judices at this stage, so I'd like to first hear from others (also, so far I didn't have a chance to see more of the new IDEA Android IDE, other than the screenshot).
