"Congratulations, you have been elevated to manager to agents." That's not exactly really where I hoped my career would lead. It's like managing junior developers, but without having nice people to work with.

Also, agents have no capacity to learn.

Anyone else stuck on 'setting up your account'?

I'm not using a workspace account and am unable to get past this step.

Oh well. Uninstalled. This was my first experience doing software development guided by AI. Doesn't seem like a tool that will serve me well in the long run.

We need a VS Code fork that just exposes more interfaces, and does nothing else. Then all these forks could just use that with power extensions, and it'd force Microsoft to change its behavior.

there are now 15 competing standards

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?

More accurately, it should be neither about Google nor about the user, but about the product. Describe what the product is and does, don’t make assumptions about the user, and let the user be the judge of it.

Hold that thought.

I think this was more accurate around 2012. My local tech magazine had their own fork and they attached CD with the magazine which included the browser.

I swear most of these pages is to sell this to companies so they can force it onto developers.

The whole webpage looks like something from Apple.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As somebody who worked on two IDEs which didn't fork VSCode but still used Monaco for code editing views, I think forking VSCode is almost always the right solutions for a new IDE. You get extensions, familiarity and most importantly, don't waste valuable time on the boring stuff which VSCode has already implemented. Nothing bad with using code other people made open. Our whole industry is built on this.

Why the need to fork it instead of creating a new extension? (besides marketing)
