This post puts me at 50,000 points - I thought I'd feel pumped or something.
Now what? New account and start again?

Well - thanks for the bump.
1469 more of those and I'll have 100,000 in the rear view mirror, too.

Even I managed it, so it's possible without superpowers (unless being bitten by a radioactive teddy bear helped somehow)
You just need to remember that being rude to morons doesn't help anyone...but it's damn tempting...
Setting my email filter to treat all emails from He Who Must Not Be Named as "junk mail" helped keep me calm as well!

True. True. But I don't want to sacrifice my good looks.
Perhaps I'll feel better if I can create some fine alcoholic beverage derived from Tofu!

No fight - you go right ahead and ferment that bacon of yours. Chug-a-Lug!
I'll sit passively and remain content with vegetable-derived beverages.
I found the following: History of Specialty Fermented Soyfoods[^] How does that compare with them pig-squeezin's you're considering?

OK, it didn't do much, just told me the screen size in internal units and updated it when the device rotated, but...
It's taken me two and a half days to get here, and I just wanted to share!

So you gave up on the emulators?

So sloooooow! Even using the x86 images, it's horrible!
I'm used to "F5"...app running.
Not "F5"...emulator loads...Android starts...still starting...go for coffee...still starting...eat sandwich...started! Loading package...read paper..."Hello World!"
I started using the "Windows 8.1" option instead, because at least it ran in human scale times, rather than glacial - but I wanted to try and check it on a real device.
And I need to deploy it for "real world" testing at some point, so I might as well get the pain out of the way now...

Do you have to start the emulator each time you want to debug something? Last time I tried something with android I could just use a running emulator and just push the app to it to debug. There was no need to completely shut down and restart the whole OS.

I tried that, but the second build failed because the target was in use - which I assumed was because it was still installed on the emulator, even if it wasn't running.

This is how I do it (all day long). I will even sometimes close Eclipse and restart it, all the while leaving the emulator open. When Eclipse starts back up, it'll find the emulator.

Oddly, I'll be heading down that trail.

I'm using the Xamarin Forms in VS2015, and it's a bit...um...not "mass market" yet. Where you expect VS to install, create a project and go for it, it just doesn't work like that. Partly that's because it's cross system dev, but partly because it's implemented very clumsily, I think.
If you ignore emulators, and debug Windows 8.1 apps then check via real Android hardware it seems to be a lot smoother.

Another post like that and you'll have successfully talked me out of it.

There's pain, yes - but I'm prepared to accept some pain up front if it reduces the hassle downstream. And after all this is trying to cross develop, which is always going to be more complex than developing on the target directly.
But I think the potential rewards are worth it.

Are you able to debug then, running on the device? Even after allowing adb soft breakpoints, I was still unable to use F11 in Xamarin. From a while back...The Lounge - CodeProject[^]
I haven't tried it (Xamarin) in a couple of months, but will probably get back into it sometime this week.

Yes - I just tried it and a breakpoint in VS stopped promptly when it was hit. I can review variable content, but (obviously) I can't edit-and-continue (damn, but I'd got used to that working!)
