I am deeply frustrated and disappointed with the forced update to Antigravity 2.0. As a paying customer, I expect stability and a reliable environment to do serious development work, not an overnight overhaul that completely breaks my workflow.
The new layout is absolutely terrible for professional coding. Forcing us into a massive chat interface while squeezing our actual source code into a tiny, narrow window on the side is unacceptable. To make matters worse, we can no longer use the integrated terminal within the same interface, and the system fails to read our paid AI credits automatically.
With this update, you have managed to create an IDE designed for development that is completely useless for actual developing. It puts flashy “AI agent” hype over the practical needs of software developers who pay for this license to get real work done. We need a dedicated, stable, full-screen IDE back immediately.
If there is no option to permanently roll back to the classic, fully-functional version without these intrusive agent features, I will be canceling my subscription. This is completely unacceptable.
It’s not the worst part. I paid for the service and it keep “retry” on and on, never stop “retry”. I can not do anything about it. If the server is not stable, why do they keep selling it? I can not event use 2 simple prompt perday, what a DISASTER
Google is no longer focused on developers, but rather on a general-purpose solutions platform – that’s version 2.0. This is the inevitable trend, but as a developer, I’m somewhat disappointed.
Download the latest IDE here; they’ve separated it Google Antigravity great, because I was about to cancel my subscription right now. Although if they keep these rate limits that don’t even Allow to work properly, I’ll have to switch to Codex. Just a heads up: you’ll lose your IDE settings.
I am totally disappointed from this spilitting of ide and agent manger, For a Beginner Developers like us we need to know what files are changed and what not and how and also the old antigravity was better with 2 window split option.
I thought this was an upgrade but it feels like this is the downgrade from the previous version nothing changed
Big huge fail mister Google. That is nothing but a waste of time. Having everything into “conversations” make no sense, it s like using Gemini on the Gemini site. Lost all my config, all my plugins, history… Not everyone is a “Vibe coder”, we check and care about the code structure and practices, make edits, test and all… That update definitely …
If I didn’t want an IDE, then I’d already be using a CLI.
And why go and replace the IDE mid-workday with something that is a productivity hand grenade?
Maybe the mentality is: “Because that’s what we’re doing inside of google! You guys are gonna love it!!!”
Consider: Is Google doing a charge back on your employee’s token usage and throttling them? Because out here in the real world, tool stability and cost predictability are actual things.
I would love a “Repeated roll the agentic dice until I get a good result” engineering approach and with the new faster Flash model and multiple async agents, I imagine I can mash that button even faster. But tokens cost money out here in the real world.
There’s a lot of drama here. I quit Antigravity and Workspace AI Ultra because it no longer gives me access to Antigravity. And with AI Ultra with Google One, there doesn’t seem to be a clear guarantee regarding data usage. However, the improvements made in Antigravity 2.0 are a significant step forward, and many interesting updates have been added in terms of agentixc tasks, subagents, scheduled tasks, etc.
Also, Antigravity IDE, the fork of VS Code, is still there, and I think it will continue to be maintained. The Agent Manager is now a separate tool. And for certain tasks, it’s quite possible I’ll continue to use it with my small PRO account and Gemini 3.5 Flash (minimum and high), which seems very fast and quite good. So, Agent Manager now complements any IDE; for me, it’s now VS Code or IntelliJ. But I imagine the integration with Antigravity IDE will be better, even if the button is no longer there, it’s just a button.
I only use it for local development, but I’m equally shocked that the new version of the agent has completely removed the code editor—surely this is absurd!
