Google updates Antigravity to version 2.0 after its $2.4 billion Windsurf acquisition, converting the tool into a desktop app powered by Gemini models
Observers say the app handles tasks without code inspection.
I'm not too happy about this
For some stuff like my .env files I really want an IDE. I'm not doing that shit in a console nor am I telling an LLM "here are all my secret keys, please add them to the .env file"
this is probably just a skill issue, but whatever. I'm gonna stick to my IDEs even if I'm only making use of it once every 3 weeks
Just tried Antigravity 2.0. It’s not an IDE anymore... I’m surprised! It’s basically the Codex/Claude desktop app with Gemini models. After spending $2.4B acquiring Windsurf, Google concluded that the future of AI coding is not IDE. We don’t need to read the code anymore.
@Yuchenj_UW Why are you surprised lol who reads code?
