It really seems like it's just standardizing into a first-class UI what a lot of people have already been doing.
I don't think I'm the target for this - I already use Claude Code with jj workspaces and a mostly design-doc first workflow, and I don't see why I would switch to this, but I think this could be quite useful for people who don't want to dive in so deep and combine raw tooling themselves.

Thank you for saying what this entire blog post doesn't. It's actually disrespectful of Google to launch this without even a mention of the fact that it is based on VSCode.
There's some irony in that, given how many other companies have "created browsers" that are just Chromium forks and rubbed Google the wrong way. The intro checklist for Antigravity includes watching VS Code tutorials!

It does? Google AI studio is their developer dashboard. Google Vertex is their equivalent of Amazon Bedrock. Google Gemini Chat is their ChatGPT app for normies. Google Antigravity is their Cursor equivalent.
> Google Vertex is their equivalent of Amazon Bedrock Well, that clears that up.

After a bunch of people leave the company it's already like nobody knows how anything is built. This seems like a good thing to accelerate understanding a codebase.

+1 - it also doesn't support remote ssh (the open vsx variant), so is probably only focused at local web design development vibe coding ;( Should have just been an extension with a paid plan.

VS Code is based on Chromium: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/v... We've come full circle.
can't get past the "Setting up your account" step atm

The software of the future, where nobody on staff knows how anything is built Doesn't this apply to people who code in high level languages?
