Hopefully this will have no impact on B4A development and libraries development...

Personally I've been using Android Studio for quite some time together with Erel's compiler tool. Works without any problems as long as you add the B4A-libraries to your project.
Also for JAVA, I stopped using Eclipse in favour of Intellij.

A few months ago I gave Android Studio a try to develop the AppCompat and DesignSupport libraries. I was not satisfied with the workflow and setting up a project in AS was quite complex, even if it is much easier to add the support repository libraries. Maybe I give it a new try again in the next days.

The Android Developer Tools are not needed for libraries development. Libraries are made of regular Java projects.

This is true for 99% of the projects. But there are exceptions.

AppCompat and DesignSupport are actually Android library projects.
