#92How does anyone internally at Google justify these decisions? Even if there are competing implementations, in terms of brand recognition, I feel like “Gemini” is more closely associated with Google than “Antigravity”. Why pick the more obscure option?! Perhaps they felt the sentiment on Gemini CLI was beyond repair, but surely there must be some voice on the inside saying “developers will never adopt our products if…
In those rare occasion when I want to use Gemini I just type gemini on my terminal. Gemini was on life support on my side. I barely get to use it due to its subpar performance in coding, which is to be honest the only use I have of it. And now I read that they spent 4 to 5 months testing 3.5 internally. Let that sink in. By the time they release the world has moved on. I don’t know who makes decisions at Google regar…
I wonder though if Google isn't so worried about the viability of their coding AIs and have a longer term view than simply providing coding aids. This might also be indicated by their recent $40B investment in Anthropic, https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/24/google-to-invest-up-to-40-bi...

#93Gemini CLI was open source (Apache 2): https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli Antigravity CLI is not - the repo has a README and an animated gif demo: https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli
There's a comment from a Googler that there's a chance Antigravity will be open sourced.

#94It’s a good decision. If an IDE can do everything that a CLI does and it surely can, then I fail to see the point of a CLI. It’s not like an IDE can’t emulate everything a CLI does but better, faster, and more interactive. It’s not like one does not need to read code either. Besides, what about session management? What about configuring agents, especially for multi-agent orchestration? The list can go on. The point i…

They just revamped Gemini CLI. Plus it gets the harness of Antigravity, seems like a straight up upgrade to me?

Its much better branding than calling every single product "Co-Pilot (tm)".

#98Whoever is in charge of these decisions, is absolutely disconnected with the reality. First they sent a message saying the Ultra plan is ending, with no other option for a Workspace use to buy an equivalent plan. It was suppose to be active tilll June or July 7 , that's all. So the users are not suppose to know how they will need to plan or budget and just guess. I read once that after a certain level , the managers…
> Whoever is in charge of these decisions, is absolutely disconnected with the reality. The problem is with your perception of reality. Google doesn't operate for the outside, you're on the outside, Google operates for Google and people in Google care about themselves first, then Google, and then -- if t all, outside.

I would wager your feelings conflict with their analysis (which they are probably quite good at, with all that practice)
How their target audience feels isn’t separate from “analysis” - it’s the input.
