Easy solution is to never ever use anything from Google unless you really must. They are the worst company by far in just starting stuff and abandoning them and providing zero support.

I was going to say the exact same thing. The only thing you might be able to count on is GMail, and I'm not sure even it won't go away someday.

> Assuming that daily and weekly quotas are OK for casual use, I will probably use AntiGravity CLI most of the time. I would not assume that for 3.1 pro, but maybe the limits for flash 3.5 will be fine, and the model will be good enough for hobby stuff.
Quota for flash 3.5 is terrible, they just reduced quotas once again. $20 plan gives you 4x usage, previously it was 33x. I get significantly more usage from $20 Claude plan using only Opus 4.7 - but at least the google plan gives me 5TB of storage now.
And considering before you had only 5 hour Flash quotas and now the same quota applies to Pro and Flash and AG CLI (meanwhile Gemini CLI which had independent 24h quotas is getting killed in a month), once you run out of a couple 5 hour windows that's it for all usage (pro or flash) for a week.

Fastmail if you like shiny. If you use a client anyway just purelymail.

#325Google made its lack of interest in Antigravity IDE obvious from very early. Updates were few and far between and app-breaking bugs stuck around, despite tons of reports. Google's lack of focus is astounding. They sprinkle random products here and there and seem to then tepidly pick the product surface that is doing least bad and then tepidly focus on that. Compare that to every other AI lab, large and small that kno…
> Google's lack of focus is astounding. As the sayinig goes, companies' products reflect their org charts. Google is too top heavy. Each leader wants to expand his/her fiefdom, aka empire building. They'll ship random shit and if it doesn't stick, just drop it and move on. Google needs someone senior internally who represents users; whose sole job is to look at things from their users' viewpoint and call out BS when…
That role doesn't exist and never will you basically just make nothing but enemies calling out bullshit and when a 6-7figure job is on the line you don't want enemies.

Re: Google's Antigravity bait and switch
#327"We should be able to trust that our tools will remain the tools we actually signed up to use." Yep... well that's what free software and open-source is for. You can't trust corporations so you MUST have the actual code. Harsh lesson but at least if something is learned and the mistake not repeated, that's OK.
You have the source to everything you use in life right? You can make your own car, patrol, shampoo, grow your own food, build your own house, wire your own electricity (and generate it), can switch to having your own reserve of drinking water anytime and plumb it, etc.
Nothing against you personally but that kind of logic is getting old. I get it that you don't trust corporations but asserting it like open source projects don't do rug pulls, and like having the source because you can spin up the version you even if they screw you over means it's safe is missing the point of how we all function as a society.
The problem isn't open source or corporations to begin with or someone made the mistake of trusting someone who seemed trustworthy to begin with, and people who take the opportunity to push their own beliefs and narratives by capitalizing on emotional situations like this instead of finding constructive ways to make things better are the worst.

I can replace everything, except google earth / streetview.

They could just call it anything else and left the existing user alone. I mean they have gemini CLI, which I would say a better product.
Gemini CLI is being sunsetted in mid-June and replaced by Antigravity. https://developers.googleblog.com/an-important-update-transi...
I assume this means a CLI tool is no longer covered by a Gemini subscription?

If I woke up one day to find some corporation had snuck in overnight and subbed out my shampoo for their newest scent without asking, then yeah I'd be looking for more reliable options for that too
