The writing has been on the wall for a long time. At this point most of the full time developers that work on Android are using Android Studio. I personally have been using it for ~18 months as my daily driver IDE. About 9 months ago I asked a meetup audience of about ~150 people how many were using Studio and the hands showed about 50%. I imagine it is far higher than 50% today.
The best developers I know are debating between Maven+IntelliJ and Gradle+Android Studio. If this turns off a handful of people that are tangentially attached to Android development, so be it. The people pushing the boundaries of writing apps have switched already.
I know some people personally are more familiar with Eclipse than IntelliJ. I was one of those people. There are lots of training resources for people going from Eclipse to IntelliJ, it is a well tread path. Just give it a try.
