When we set out to develop Android Studio we started with these three principles: First, we wanted to build and release a complete IDE, not just a plugin.
Second, we wanted to build it on top of an actively maintained, best-of-breed Java IDE.
And third, we wanted to not only adopt a better build system, but to use this build system both from the command line and from inside the IDE, such that we didn't have the discrepancy in behavior and capability that we had with ADT between the in-IDE builds with Eclipse, and CI builds with ant.
Android Studio has come a long way since those early days, but our mission of empowering Android developers with excellent tools continues to be our focus!
