| I never really used the Antigravity IDE, but had it installed. The update also made me do a double take and wonder what the hell was going on. It seems like Google is hitting the reset button on the product they call "Antigravity", existing users be damned. Fine, if you've never installed or used the previous version before... but for existing users the "bait and switch" is incredibly disorientating. My take is they saw the market size for a general agentic tool as being larger and more significant than a specialised IDE. It shows a pretty large lack of respect for users in the later group though. |

| You can't use Antigravity 2.0 on Windows with WSL. There is simply no way to connect to WSL. The agent can't run any Linux commands. Also the Antigravity CLI doesn't remember your credentials in WSL. It asks you to log in every time you run the program. And after 4 chat sessions, my ~/antigravity-server folder now takes up 4 GB. |

| They could just call it anything else and left the existing user alone. I mean they have gemini CLI, which I would say a better product. |

| ▲ | ctippett 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think that's what everyone is going to think. Hot take: At least they're ripping the bandaid now instead of stringing users along and eventually abandoning it like they normally do. | |
| ▲ | NitpickLawyer an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | > I mean they have gemini CLI Uhhh, about that :) Gemini CLI (the open source cli) is being deprecated, and the recommended replacement is Antigravity CLI (which supposedly comes with the new Antigravity, not the IDE). shrug. Surely this will be maintained long term... | | |
| ▲ | dgacmu an hour ago | parent [-] | | Oh, but you can only install the new antigravity CLI by first installing and authenticating via the IDE. Will they make it work headless before the June deadline when they turn off gemini-cli? I guess we'll see... | | |
| ▲ | danielbln an hour ago | parent [-] | | Just today I installed the CLI version of antigravity (agy) and have been using it as a headless subagent from within Claude, so uh this works today? |

| Sometimes I wonder if they even realize they have users... |

| Pissing off the segment of people most likely to take offense and try to take revenge seems pretty dumb. No wonder they are losing massively to Huawei in several markets. Mobile marketshare is probably an indicator of some kind of their future prospects. |

I don't like Google either, but I don't think this is a fair comparison. It's easy for anyone to beat Google in China when the state has decided to block their servers. | | |
| ▲ | MichaelZuo 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | They are declining in market share in several countries. Notably multiple ASEAN countries, Russia and Iran (though that is forced), and so on. Edit: Probably the high end non apple market in nearly all African countries too, but idk if there is reliable data for those. |
