>This account isn't eligible for Google Antigravity 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?

Gemini 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.

Lots of people throwing shade at Gemini CLI in the comments. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I enjoy using it. I haven't tried antigravity at all yet. I hope it will be an experience that is somewhat close to agentic coding on the CLI. I hit other model providers from Pi agent, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of my Google AI subscription on the CLI.

Weird, I saw nobody "throwing shade", all complaining is very direct and simple: gemini-cli sucks but Google sucks even more but discontinuing it to relaunch it with another name a tool that still sucks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, there is no IDE in antigravity 2.0

Ouch! I assumed too early

Which makes this part quite funny

"One may argue that Google’s Antigravity is clunky or cluttered or something worse, but that’s confusing organizational capability with principles"

The amount of free and biased good will Google gets here in HN is weird.

I had been using Antigravity for about 4 months now. I used Gemini Pro 3.1 heavily for small to medium size projects, alongside I used AWS Kiro and Claude Code. Then I use Angtigravity but instead of Gemini I installed Claude code extention which was working great till Today with the new update, Antigravity removed all the vscode extentions. Not sure even how git will work here. This antigravity update isn't an update but a completely new product. All the investments we have made in order set it down with our dev process, integration is gone, wasted. This is a very bad move but actually its the permanent state of Google, launch a product and a bunch of similar kind of products and then pull the rug.

With the current state of the AI companies and models, one should stay as far away as possible from vendor lock in. Use open and agnostic harnesses and processes.

What's the big deal? https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-cli They just revamped Gemini CLI. Plus it gets the harness of Antigravity, seems like a straight up upgrade to me?

From open source to closed source.

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…

I saw someone in a different thread describe Google product/tool strategy as a: “monkey knife fight”

And tbh I can’t really argue with that.
