Android Studio Giraffe Canary 10 now available
I've been using pidcat in a terminal for years and would recommend it in place of whatever logcat of the day in AS.

Why is Android Studio so buggy and Android development so frustrating? I spend 25-50% of my day solving Google's bugs
It's been a while I did not experience major issue in AS, for a large 100% Java app. Using the latest Canaries and keeping it up to date. In 10 years of Android dev, i've never had to use a debugger. Instead I rely on verbose logging, including for troubleshooting issues reported by user when they provide a log file on demand. For logcat logging, I've been using pidcat for years in a terminal. The app being just 100% Java avoids a lot of possible problems and builds fast. I actually think the AS team and generally Android tools teams (with special mention for people maintaining R8/D8/Desugar) have been doing a good job with it these past years.
