This is great. It would have been hard to make an IDE with the polish of IntelliJ from scratch, but, without official support from Google for Android development plugins, layout editors, etc. I had been reluctant to make the jump.
This is massive for Jetbrains! We don't know whether some money exchanged hands at this moment, but Jetbrains is going to get a lot of value from the primary Android development platform being based on their product.
Hell, imagine all the PR at the moment. They don't just do Java, they have IDEs for PHP, iOS, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if their sales took off as a result of this keynote.
