I have absolutely 0 idea why any developer would rely on any IDE produced by google. It'll be canned within 5 years max, with 3-4 seeming like a reasonable estimate of the lifespan of the product

I've been using my current IDE for 17 years, and plan to continue using it for at least another 15

You mean Android Studio will be canned in 2018 max with a reasonable estimate of 2016-2017?

Isn't Android Studio based on IntelliJ and not a product developed from ground up? And Android Studio has second order revenue from the playstore.

I wouldn't be even surprised if internally the AS team's financials are counted under the Playstore umbrella.

Antigravity is based on VS Code, not designed from the ground up, and has second order revenue from the AI subscriptions (financials probably counted under the AI umbrella).

I still wouldn't trust a Google product to stick around, but these hints aren't a reliable oracle either.

When AS was launched Android was the only other viable option and it is the same even today. I don't believe Google's AI products will reach and/or sustain the same dominance as Android.

It is a product launched in the hype cycle of AI. Google has plenty of other products (launched during hype cycles) that are gathering dust.

That's not a guaranteed signal that it will meet the same fate but its something strong enough to be wary of.

It's interesting to think that Google's Antigravity is a forked version of MSFT's VS Code, which uses a browser engine built by Google, which they forked from Apple, which they forked from KHTML.

It's made by Jetbrains thankfully.

It won't matter. The core ideas of an Agent Manager view will be copied and improved by others in many project in the future.

Which is is, vi or emacs?

It will be very funny if it's vim, since Bram Moolenaar who created and ran it worked at Google from 2006 to 2021.

Do you really think antigravity will last longer than 1 year?

Yes
