Hey guys, if you are getting freezes editing compose files, I have found a not so elegant but pretty functional solution:

1. Create a new Android project in IntelliJ, copy your actual Android project's app build.gradle minus the composeOptions into the new project's app build.gradle
2. delete src/main in the new project
3. (on Linux, not sure exactly for other os) ln -s /path/to/android/project/src/main /path/to/new/project/src/main
4. refresh gradle in IntelliJ, observe your Compose files in the symlinked src/main, IntelliJ should provide the usual features like you get in Android Studio's code editor
5. Android Studio can still be used to see the Preview of these changes
Maybe the freezes are worse for me, or I am more bothered by them, but I'm pretty excited to develop smoothly after figuring this out so thought I'd share for until the dev's great work makes its way to editor performance 😄
