This is the Google messaging problem all over again. Hangouts, Google Chat, Google Hangout Google whatever the fuck, messaging, GMail chat, Google Wave, Google Duo, Google MS Teams. Now Meets Chat is Hangouts again!
Between this comment, and the comment above, I dont know what feels like fair criticism here. Having a single perfect product strategy with non-overlapping product categories and understandable names is hard for any organization, particularly in a rapidly evolving space. Its obviously an issue to have multiple mature products be chaotically names. At this moment antigravity and gemini cli and are hardly mature. Isn't…

#194How 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…

This is my read too. Google wants more control here. They have been banning accounts and the repo for gemini-cli is a dumpster fire of issues

#196Google is the new Microsoft. Gemini is its Zune.

Reminds me of the Microsoft days circa 2010 when Microsoft published half a dozen media players (Zune!), word processors, email clients, etc.
I think this is a systemic problem of an industry where gross margin is 80% or higher, so you can plow all that extra money into superfluous headcount tasked with objectives of questionable business value. It’s a curse of riches, if you will. The rest of us living on 15 to 30% margins need to think a little harder about what we do and why.
It's worse when you consider these are the only companies that can afford it due to the tax implications of R&D, my understanding was that you still pay the full bill on a developer building something as if you were making profits, even though you're burning their entire salary and other resources on it.

Wasn't it always somewhere between 20 to 30% (especially more recently in the 30s) but the real difference is, they're in the billions of dollars, your small business might be in the millions, it's quite a drastic difference altogether.

#199As luck would have it, I tried Antigravity for the first time a few days ago. It was a complete buggy mess - at one point I asked Gemini why it could not use the network despite having network access enabled in the sandbox settings, and it told me that although it had network access, it couldn't use mdnsresponder while running with the built-in sandbox. Like, how well thought out, network access without DNS. After bu…
My experience with any built in sandboxing for these command line tools has been awful. What I've done instead is built a script to create a disposable virtual machine (using incus to manage it). And then I just run the CLI inside the virtual machine and delete the vm at the end of each day.
Same, this has been a challenge since my development machine also has access to banking/personal sensitive data. I would really like to run with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` (or equivalents) without too much worry.
Local VMs are heavyweight but useful if you are sandboxing an entire IDE/GUI app like Cursor. With containers it's somewhat annoying to share local files - Distrobox helps with GUI apps and mounting the home directory but loses sandboxing. I have been curious about Flatpak/bubblewrap, but haven't had time to try it.
For now I've settled on containers, but I would like to shift to a remote VM like I have at work.

Its 36% for Q1 2026.
