#102How 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…
By unifying the billing and quota systems, as well as providing better integration, I presume
The Antigravity harness is by far better than the gemini-cli one. Antigravity also offers models other than Gemini as well. When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform whereas when you say Gemini you think of the model
It's great that gemini-cli is open-source, but that also comes with a bunch of ai-generated issues and pull-requests, which is sure to impede development

> developers will never adopt our products if we keep killing them
We all want this to be the case but it's never the case. It never stops to amuse me how developers of the world fall into the Google trap again and again and again despite knowing better.
Personally have been hurt a lot by the abandonment of Polymer and since then it would not occur to me to touch any Google development product because what's the point really?

#104here we go again: https://steve-yegge.medium.com/dear-google-cloud-your-deprec...
which is mainly this part on googles thinking:
> Drop whatever you are doing because it’s not important. What is important is OUR time. It’s costing us time and money to support our shit, and we’re tired of it, so we’re not going to support it anymore. So drop your fucking plans and go start digging through our shitty documentation, begging for scraps on forums, and oh by the way, our new shit is COMPLETELY different from the old shit, because well, we fucked that design up pretty bad, heh, but hey, that’s YOUR problem, not our problem.

#105It’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…
Well, there is no IDE in antigravity 2.0
Ouch! I assumed too early

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 am really curious to know about the people who are downvoting this. I really want to know why, genuinely.
Your take is cynical, but sensible in a massive org with dysfunctional culture that jades and burns out engineers until they only care about their own personal gains and everything else is secondary. I think people project their values in situations that don't have place for them and get upset

#107AFAICT it's practically a name-change. Why can't they alias, does it for some reason have an API difference?

I the other reasons you mentioned could be solved while keeping the Gemini name, but this is a fair point. I didn't realize they offered 3rd party models!
> When you say Antigravity, you think of a platform whereas when you say Gemini you think of the model
Yea I guess if their goal long-term is to be something more akin to Cursor that makes sense, but Anthropic seems to be doing just fine using "Claude" in their naming scheme.

If the repo is already forked, what difference does it make if Google supports it or not? The community can just continue development if they so choose
google can kill your account for using an unsupported harness when/if they choose
Complete bs. Gemini models are on OpenRouter just like any other models.
