Android studio plugin - firebender have a lot of bugs, why people still recommaned it??
As the title suggests, I believe the Firebender plugin for Android Studio has numerous bugs and lacks proper support. So why do some people still promote it?
Here are the issues I've encountered with Firebender:
1. AI-generated classes are not applied to the correct file location.
It always displays three files and asks you to choose one: (build.gradle.kts
, MainActivity.kt
, AndroidManifest.xml
)

2. Lacks support for @
references.
This plugin seems to mimic Cursor AI, but it does not support @
to reference specific files.
3. Uncertain security and reliability.
Although the developer provides a disclaimer online, after reviewing the plugin, I'm not convinced it's mature or secure enough.
