It's rough around the edges and whether or not your use case is successful is definitely very specific, but for my personal hobby projects (ECU reverse engineering), it's been an excellent tool. Ghidra worked out-of-the-box in Rosetta and natively with a few simple build system tweaks, tricore-qemu was trivial to build, Mono is working, VSCode is nicer than ever, and CrossOver Wine (in Rosetta) even works great for running Windows-only toolchains. The battery life and performance-to-price ratio on the Air have been amazing. And, some things like GMP are _ridiculously_ fast - a brute-force RNG -> RSA attack I developed is actually faster on the M1 MacBook Air than on my not-that-old Ryzen desktop.
Android Emulator Apple Silicon Preview. Friday, December 4, 2020. We've made a rough initial preview of the emulator running on Apple Silicon available here. It also contains an AOSP system image build for ARM64. This should enable developers to test/run ARM64 apps via ARM64 hardware virtualization. If you're looking for the best Android emulator for Apple MacBook M1 Processor, you've come to the right site. We tested some emulators on a newly released.

I agree that the hype is tiring, and yes, some things like Android development don't work correctly yet - but not everyone is an Android developer, and dismissing the first-gen Apple Silicon products in a blanket way goes against the experience of many people. Thus, downvotes.
