Subject: Antigravity 2.0: The UI is a wall, not a bridge.
Listen, the engine under 2.0 is solid. The agentic flow is exactly what I was looking for. But the new UI? It’s a massive step backward for anyone actually trying to do work.
I’m here to build, not to hunt for metrics. Right now, the quota/usage transparency is buried so deep in submenus it’s practically invisible. I shouldn’t have to go on an archaeological dig just to see if my compute budget is holding up, especially when I’m mid-session. Bringing back a simple, persistent status bar indicator isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s essential.
Moving away from the extension ecosystem has effectively killed the “Cohesive Sanctum” I had running. My tools, my monitoring, and my code need to live in the same house. Right now, they’re scattered across different apps and buried UI layers. And let’s talk about the migration: having to manually recover history from a backup folder is a headache I don’t need.
I’m invested in this project. I want this to be the standard. But right now, the UI friction is actively fighting against the utility of the agent.
Make it functional again. Put the dashboard back where I can actually see it, restore the workspace cohesion, and let me get back to work.
I’m patient, but I’m not a fan of navigating a maze just to keep the lights on. Fix the visibility, and we’re back in business.
