Having worked with the NDK in Android Developer Tools (Google's Eclipse Fork), it's pretty painful. It takes a long time to get the environment set up and working (somewhat) nicely. You have to get a plugin to debug via ADT, I used the ARM DS-5 debugger. It works, but it's not a good user experience.
I used to complain about certain niggles in Xcode, but having used ADT, I shall never complain again. Comparatively, using Xcode is a joy.
