Kotlin? You have options.

There's always the command line tools with gradle 😉

The regular FOSS Intellij Idea is the premier Kotlin IDE and can do Android too. Though Google is usually a slog to throw their AGP integration code over the fence which sucks because projects sometimes upgrade their AGP quite aggressively.

The code itself is just text, an IDE just gives you fancy integration.
