Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch | Hacker News

Hacker News users debated a Google Antigravity IDE update that seemed to hide or remove the IDE mode by default.

Commenters said the release left known bugs unresolved, fueling criticism that Google is deprioritizing the product.

Some compared Google’s AI coding tools with OpenAI and Anthropic offerings, pointing to weaker trust in Google’s product follow-through.

A few users said the change could be worked around with a clean install or by disabling auto-update.
