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

That is a very useful bit of wisdom that one can overlook easily, but once articulated can explain a fair bot behaviour.

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…

On the other hand I quietly cheer every time they fumble even slightly, in their seemingly inexorable march to becoming our ultimate, terrifying, corporate overlords.

Yes. Every possible pain they have makes me happy when their other hand is slowly destroying Android. Let them suffer.

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 an…

It's not an IDE, it's a way to run agents. In particular, the Antigravity CLI positioned as Gemini CLI's successor is a shell with superpowers, not something you would use for code development.

How 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…

Internal political wrangling and competition along with poor top-level leadership explain these sorts of bumbling moves. The same story that has always been at Google.

I would wager your feelings conflict with their analysis (which they are probably quite good at, with all that practice)

As someone who worked there for a decade, I would wager instead that all that analysis at the top makes no difference when you're unable to execute because your internal politics are broken.

EDIT: ... also that the analysis at the "top" is mostly being made by people with the wrong incentives and motives, too.

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.

But then you have to pay by the token instead of the subsidized subscription prices

You proved the point. Gemini has been marketed better, such that even folks in the know confuse Antigravity (the IDE) with anything else attempting to be pushed.

And clicking on "Explore Google AI plans" takes me to...I kid you not...the storage settings page of google drive.

Genuinely can't tell wtf google even wants me to use. Vertex? Gemini? Antigravity? Antigravity 2? Agent platform? Google One? Gemini Enterprise? Google AI?

Don't they have a senior management team that can impose some coordination?

Sounds like they vibe coded that instead.

Google has such poor UX flows at times, it doesn’t surprise me.
