If you haven't tried Studio since it hit 0.2, it might be worth another look. It's become much more stable and I've been able to replace Eclipse completely. I actually don't have Eclipse installed on my primary dev machine right now.
I admit I used it early on (i.e. June) and was trying to build an app with Google Maps. The problem was that I needed to understand Gradle in order to manually edit the build files. I figured I'd tough out eclipse for the next little bit, until the Gradle issues are fixed. Next time I'm fooling around with Android, I might give it another chance.
