Yes, I've noticed this a lot with Android projects too. Recently I looked at a project that openly bragged about using: RxJava 2/AutoDispose, Conductor, AutoValue, Glide, ThreetenABP, Inspector, PSync, Chuck, Scalpel, Stetho, Room, Firebase, Butter Knife

Look, not all of those things are bad but jesus fucking christ, what happened to exercising restraint and good judgement with introducing dependencies in to your projects? Dependencies are a LIABILITY and for something to be introduced it has to be worth it, not just provide some minor syntactical convenience (like Butter Knife, etc.)
