On the pricing page it says that for public preview they are offering a free individual plan with "generous rate limits". I gave it an HTML file and asked it to create Jinja templates from it and 2 minutes later (still planning, no additional prompt) I got this: > Model quota limit exceeded. You have reached the quota limit for this model.

That'd be my experience with gemini cli.

> Spin up agents to tackle routine tasks that take you out of your flow, such as codebase research, bug fixes, and backlog tasks. The software of the future, where nobody on staff knows how anything is built, no one understands why anything breaks, and cruft multiplies exponentially. But at least we're not taken out of our flow!

This is why I have much respect for the Zed team as they are chasing originality, not just slap something onto VS Code and call it a new IDE.

I love Zed code. Sad that Sublime Text is not keeping up.

On the contrary, I am glad that the Sublime team did not fall for the trends and avoided adding AI slop into the editor

This whole blog post is seemingly about Google, not about the user. "Why We Built Antigravity" etc. "We want Antigravity to be the home base for software development in the era of agents" - cool, why would I as the user care about that?

After using Google AI studio, Google Vertex, and Google Gemini Chat I honestly can't wait to use Google Antigravity! edit: Also Jules... snark off: I think the Google PMs should have coffee together and see if all of this sprawl makes any sense.

This is the fruit of Windsurf brain-drain and I think it might be better than what's out there since those guys got to start from scratch from everything they learned building Windsurf

I forgot all about Windsurf from ... 4 months ago. The pace is crazy.

I went ahead and downloaded it, it looks to be a VSCode fork very similar to Cursor, with support for the following models: - Gemini 3 Pro (High) - Gemini 3 Pro (Low) - Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Thinking) - GPT-OSS 120B (Medium)

Oh no, not another VSCode fork...

Many software engineering principles have been broken.

Google using Electron tells us that quality control is completely out of the window.

Unbelievable.

Few horse racers became automobile racers. If existing engineers don't change it doesn't matter because new engineers will take their place.

We‘ll wait and see. Car manufacturers made profit

Some will wait and see, yes.
