Is this a web "dev help", or "dev replacement" tool?
While based on VS Code, it also includes
full control of Chrome web browser, and "agent manager",
to initiate and manage and test multiple projects and playgrounds in parallel.
The code editor is available, but more like a "fallback" access to check things.
In fact, Antigravity does not "like" sharing control, it does its things its own way.
Very opinionated.
So is it "good", "amazing", or "not for me"?
It is different enough, and provides free access to Google Gemini 3 Pro (unlimited?)
Worth a try for sure.
My take is that this is an evolutionary step in abstraction levels,
similar to upgrade from assembly/macro (ASM) programming languages
to now common "higher level" languages like C, C++, Python, JavaScript, C# etc.
Since Google is a bit "late to the game", and has a "culture" of attempts for 10x improvements,
it is not a surprise they are "pushing the limits." As they did with Angular 2. And React "won".
I also think this is a move to a wrong direction.
Non-developers will be lost in advanced tool,
and good developers are not good "managers,"
and good managers are not good developers, no matter abstraction level.
Time will tell... and VS Code will for sure capture some of those ideas,
same as they did with from Cursor.
