Using IntelliJ with Android plugin, rather than using Android Studio

I wonder if there is any difference between using the Android Studio, Google offer to use, and use the IntelliJ Base IDE, and install the Android plugin?

Would it effect the project and module handling?

Would it effect facets?

I've been using IntelliJ IDEA 12 for Android projects for a long time. Android studio has a lot of beneficial additional Android integration, such as:

  • Inline Lint API checks
  • Drawable and string previews
  • Better layout editor
  • Built in Gradle support
  • Better DDMS integration

But you can certainly just use the community edition of IntelliJ 12 for Android projects, and for production projects, I would say it's preferable at this time until Android Studio stabilizes. Also, I believe IntelliJ 13 will essentially include all of the Android functionality that Android Studio does, from what I've heard.
