firstly deploying your app without obfuscating the code was a mistake.
But now that its happened why do you think someone who is selling a
paid version of your app and who will have a hard time maintaining the
code (decompiling doesn't give you a nice base to work from) is going
to be able to compete with a free up to date version from you?
Secondly
1) I don't find Java particularly slow. But you can expect that its
performance on a device will improve as more devices can access to
JIT.
2) Eclipse is OK, but you don't have to use it. I don't, I prefer
IntelliJ. Yes it costs, but not much.
3) Yes, the emulator is slow to start up, but after that its fine. So
don't close it between each iteration. I don't.
