I am writing to report a major regression in development workflow following the 2.0 update. The decision to remove the native IDE integration and force the use of a separate desktop app for managing agents completely breaks context and ruins focus.
Critical Issues Observed:
-
Constant Context Switching: Forcing developers to jump back and forth between their code editor and a standalone desktop application introduces unnecessary friction, severely slowing down debugging and deployment.
-
Loss of Native Integration: The “agent-first” approach decoupled from the environment where code is actually written ignores the practical needs of developers who require immediate, low-latency validation inside a unified workspace.
The core value of Antigravity was having the Agent Manager and the codebase under one roof. I strongly urge the team to reconsider this roadmap and either restore a unified workflow or fast-track the release of the promised editor extensions to integrate the agent management tools directly back into our IDEs.
