Android studio (Electric Eel) has now an inbulit screen mirroring option: End of life for scrcpy?

Long live scrcpy!
A wonderful tool for years, and a great companion.
However, with electric eel, it may be reaching end of life?
Thank you for your contribution towards developer's happiness over the years, dear friend!

Thoughts?

Android Studio is one of the most cumbersome applications that I've ever had the misfortune to use, so personally I'll stick to scrcpy

The feature is interesting in Android Studio:

• no separate app to install
• UI buttons to make actions (rather than keyboard shortcuts)
• integrated in the development environment (same window)

I asked to @AnDroidStudIo some implementations details, but no response yet: https://twitter.com/scrcpy_app/status/1614416779517870080

Absolutely not. Btw, scrcpy is not only used for Android development.

Some small remarks:

• Recording apparently runs screenrecord (which is limited to 3 minutes), and runs a "separate" recording (it does not record what is streamed, so there are 2 encoding when recording). That's easier to use though.
• By the same method as described in Reduce latency by 1 frame #646, I observed that the latency in scrcpy is 1-frame lower than that in Android Studio, but that's probably a detail for Android development (and which may be improved in future versions of Android Studio).

I will stick to scrcopy. It takes 10 min to just start Android studio. Aksi scrcopy can record directly.

scrcpy is also much more lightweight.

I think it might help for ScrCpy, as Google might add new features and as both are open sourced, each can learn from the other and have its own take.
That's the potential, at least, but sadly Google probably won't put much effort into this.
ScrCpy is still much better in many ways.
I'm not even sure there is currently even one advantage of using Android Studio for mirroring, at least not yet.
