Visual Studio is a great IDE, and Google's Android emulator is so slow you'd think it was a joke. So even without a additional framework it's great that you can dump the laugable Eclipse IDE (which has "Open Source shit designed by a deranged committee of fuckwits" all over it), and put the excellent but still not quite as polished Android Studio to one side, and develop for Android that way.

When you spike consumption in response to lower prices, the prices just go back up.

As with any commodity, this is only true if supply is static or falling while demand rises. The reason gas prices are currently falling is because supply of available oil is rising, largely due to new sources being made available.

or even simply returned to the public in the form of a rebate

Can you provide any evidence of when this has ever happened with a tax was applied to a commodity? In reality, any surplus will be retained by Big Oil. Lefties need to quit trying to hurt the middle class and working poor with all of these proposed "progressive" taxes that are actually completely regressive, disproportionately affecting those who can least afford to absorb them. How about stripping Big Oil of their subsidies for starters? The Democrats could have easily done this during the first half of Obama's first term, when they held the House, Senate, *and* Presidency, yet they chose to leave those surpluses intact.
