> we added pieces that evolved the IDE towards an agent first future such as ... an additional novel agent-first form factor
"Novel agent-first form factor" feels very buzz-wordy. Does it refer to an actual feature?

2020: every day a new electron fork is announced 2024: every day a new electron fork is announced 2025: every day a new electron fork is announced
There's only one electron. It looks like separate ones because it's traveling backwards and forwards in time.
For the uninitiated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

#753I gave it a fair shot. It is a vs code fork. There were some UI glitches. Some usability was better. Cursor has some real annoying usability issues - like their previous/next code change never going away and no way to disable it. Design of this one looks more polished and less muddy. I was working on a project and just continued with it. It was easy because they import setting from cursor. Feels like the browser wars…

This is great fundamental business advice. We are in the AI age but these companies see to have forgotten basic business things

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.
If both work equally well then why does it matter whether Zed or VSCode is under the hood?
I think the point is that they don’t both work equally well.

#756It's a hard sell for Cursor users using Gemini 3 to switchover to AntiGravity. There's nothing innovative they have introduced for me to switch IDEs.

#757I keep getting: "Antigravity server crashed unexpectedly. Please restart to fully restore AI features." On Ubuntu 24.04 - others on reddit reporting the same with 24.04.

#758And for the first time since I have this MacBook Pro (M2 2023) I heard and felt the fans. I was wondering if they were imaginary.

#759"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.
I'm at one of those companies where we're forced to be in the office. NO ONE TALKS TO EACH OTHER unless absolutely necessary for work. We get on Zooms to talk. Even with the person 1 cubicle over.
Glad to see I am not the only HN users that work in such companies.

What other UI framework looks as good on Windows, Mac and Linux?
This is the painful truth, isn't it? IMO The next best cross-platform GUI framework is Qt (FreeCAD, QGIS, etc.) Qt6 can look quite nice with QSS/QStyle themes, these days, and its native affordances are fairly good. But it's not close. VSCode is nice-looking, to me.
