It is the best IDE out there. I do all my python programming on it. I wonder how difficult would it be to recode it in another language?

I agree. There are a lot of vibrant communities outside of the Java standards community. But if all of them depend on Oracle to move forward quickly and Oracle decides its best interest lies in a different direction, how will that impact those communities?

Have to wait and see how the Oracle v Google lawsuit plays out.

Another healthy non-server Java community is Eclipse.

Both Eclipse and Android do share the attribute that they are frameworks outside of the control (for the most part) of Oracle.
