Are there any plans for a multi-platform project view support for Project explorer in Android Studio?

Yeah I definitely think there's a good opportunity for Multiplatform to get easier, in this space.
Managing a MPP project has driven me to use IntelliJ's 'Favourites' lists extensively, but that's really not ideal.

For a start you can't define Favourites directly in a Gradle Config. That sent me down a path of looking at the IntelliJ plugin to edit XML project nodes directly to 'resurrect' the favourites lists from Gradle, but I couldn't even find the XML notes for favourites and at that point, I gave up.

The Kotlin MPP Shared Items Browser deserves an honourable mention here; it's useful at times; but I think a UX designer with a good understanding of the problem could come up with something really quite ergonomic; I'm imagining a 2D Grid with modules down one axis, platforms across the other, to select source-set

hope if they add it is disabled by default, like android project view, every time I import a new project I have to move to the default project view which is annoying 😞

Just improving a few source sets colors is enough for me.

android view is awful even in only android projects, switch to project view

I learned a trick a while back, You can add a custom property to make Android studio open project in project view by default.
Help -> Edit Custom Properties and add studio.projectview=true
