The state of Cursor "review" features make me convinced that the cursor devs themselves are not dogfooding their own product. It drives me crazy when hundreds of changes build up, I've already reviewed and committed everything, but I still have all these "pending changes to review". Ideal…

Committing accepts all changes for me, and has for as long as I can remember.

There are situations when this is not the case case for sure.

> I complained to it that I had only made one image. It decided to make me one more! What?! So was it only hallucinating that you were out of credits the first time?

More likely the credits system runs on eventual consistency, and he hit a different backend.

If there's something I'd expect Google to use a strong consistency model for, it'd be a credit system like that.

Well, not that they don't do stupid things all the time, but having credits live on a system with a weak consistency model would be silly.

I wanted to like it as a Gemini Pro subscriber who does not want to also pay for Claude Code, but after running Antigravity for ~ 10 minutes, and a few back and forward exchanges I got the 'Model quota limit exceeded' message with no indication when it will reset. You get the impression that these products from Google (including Gemini CLI ) are just made as prototypes -- they are supposed to work as a demo, but Google does not actually care about having a working workflow with them. Claude Code on the other hand is an actual product that works well.

It's a shame not even mention the amazing work of VSCode.

The VSCode homepage does not mention Chromium or Electron.

It might sound smart your defense of Google but VSCode is not a fork or electron and chromium, there's a lot of work there, not just clicking a fork button

Theory: the naming of this product is strategic. Google's goal is to push something else above "Google antitrust" in the autocomplete.

Wouldn't that have the opposite effect, now every person googling for Google antigravity will see the second suggestion as Google antitrust

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

I would bet in time they are vindicated. Then Google et al will release something with much advertising hype about "returning to basics" or something in a couple of years.

My heart really sinks every time someone launches a "new IDE" and it turns out to be VS Code. VSCode can be turned into an IDE for _some_ platforms. But not for others. It remains a text editor with some nice extras (syntax highlighting, navigation) but lacking others (debugger, testing, ...).

What's most astonishing is that I can't seem to find what actual platforms it works for. I don't doubt the LLM's can write code in almost any language and for almost all frameworks, with varying success.

But which languages/platforms/framework will the IDE work for technically, having compilers etc built in? I don't care if an LLM can help me with the code, if I then can't compile it within the same IDE!

They have a "full stack" use case here, which doesn't even suggest what this stack consists of? https://antigravity.google/use-cases/fullstack

Am I going crazy or are they just handwaving the _actual_ development tasks in all this?

I 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…

I bet if you sign up for Google AI Ultra for a month your limits will disappear.

They do not
