> It is a vs code fork Google may have won the browser wars with Chrome, but Microsoft seems to be winning the IDE wars with VSCode
I wouldn't bet on an Electron app winning anything long-term in the dev-oriented space.
Really reflects how companies are prioritizing hype and adoption over product quality.
(now off to download it...)
Anthropic and OpenAI are investing a lot into this space and are now competing directly with companies like Cursor. Cursor's biggest moat at the moment is their tab completion model, which doesn't exist in the Anthropic's and OpenAI's current offerings and is leagues ahead of Github Copilot's.
Antigravity is a VSCode fork that adds both Google's own tab complete and an agent composer, similar to products like https://conductor.build/. Assuming that Google doesn't shoot themselves in the foot (which they seem to like doing), we'll see if wrappers like Cursor / Windsurf / Cognition can compete against the big labs. It's worth noting that the category seems to be blurring, since Cursor has trained not only their own tab complete model but also their own agent model.
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…
As someone who used to work there, Google will never get product releases right in general because of how bureaucratic and heavyweight their launch processes are. They force the developing team to have a huge number of meetings and email threads that they must steer themselves to check off a ridiculously large list of "must haves" that are usually well outside their domain expertise. The result is that any non-critic…
There's a lot of "shipping the org chart" -- competing internal products, turf wars over who gets to own things, who gets the glory, rather than what's fundamentally best for the customer. E.g. Play Music -> YouTube Music transition and the disaster of that.
"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.
It seems to streamline my existing Claude Code workflow with a much better UI. The tab complete seems the best I've experienced and the text/image selection, adding comments and iterating on a plan is genius.
Depressing to see everyone here unable to see the forest for the trees.

You wouldn’t. It’s made to suck out investor money and show that google does something, not to actually bring value. My crystal ball says it will be shutdown next year.
Investor money? Google is highly profitable. It's not looking for investment, it's the one investing. Maybe you are confusing it with OpenAI?

With Ultra I hit that limit in 20 minutes with Gemini 3 low. When the rate limit cleared some hours later, I got one prompt before hitting limit again.
perhaps you were feeding into its the context your whole node_modules folder? :/
