Our source code contains roughly 50 different android apps. We are fairly early adapters, and do not mind switching over to Studio and go through the necessary learning curve.
We even started trying to do all of our production builds using gradle for quite some time now. However, we can't go 100% studio because there are two features we use that are not supported yet by Studio/Gradle yet- NDK support and Google's support library 8 (for renderscript) support. Without these two features, we just can't even bulid using gradle. In addition, since gradle settings include many projects, builds are painfully slow. We need some kind of a standard "configuration tool" that, based on our products' lib dependencies, configures the settings.gradle file to include only the libraries that actually needs to be built. In any case, the tools team (and specifically Xavier) is doing a great job communicating and handling issues [especially compared to other dev related teams for Google products]. So we have a good feeling that once they give us the "please migrate now" signal, we will have adequate support doing so.
