Senior Android Dev here, moved from Eclipse to AS when it was still in preview earlier in the year. It's loads more stable and much easier to use. Definitely recommend giving it a go if you were turned off by Eclipse + ADT earlier.
That's totally true. I've been a Java developer for quite a while. And I always find myself struggling with some Eclipse bugs or bad implementations. I downloaded android studio since the very beginning for the Android projects. The more stable interface really helps a lot.
Couldn't say it better. Even the old preview releases I used were waaaay more stable, fast and user friendly than Eclipse ever was. I would definitely recommend trying AS!
