Originally, the Antigravity app I used had a typical IDE layout. However, after updating to version 2.0 and then 2.0.1, the system completely changed, and now there are two separate products available on their website: Antigravity 2.0 and Antigravity IDE.
At first, I thought Antigravity IDE was meant to be an older version so that users who preferred the classic UI could still use it. But as it turns out, both are actually running the exact same latest version, 2.0.1.
What makes it confusing is that if we try to install both, the Antigravity 2.0 installer will overwrite and delete Antigravity IDE because they both fight for the same directory folder. Why create two separate products if they are ultimately releasing the exact same version?
worst part? theyāre saying āuse both, its the perfect setup!ā. Iām tryin. Really hard. They donāt even have shared brain for the same workspaceā¦ I had to manually move some things but itās still a mess.
Iām going to use only the IDE and itās ok, but I know doing so Iām not going to use the Antigravity tools at their 100%
Exactly! That āuse bothā advice is just a joke since the installers keep overwriting each other. But hey, here is a crazy silver lining: check your AI credit balance!
Goggle Antigravity seems to have completely reset the credit quota back to full with this massive update, haha. Even if your quota was totally depleted before, itās now refilled 100% like a brand-new package. Check yours right now, at least we got free unlimited fuel while they try to fix this mess! 
The explanation is obvious if we try to follow the thinking of the people responsible for this, namely the marketers and the people behind the rising charts. We already had an IDE, but Google was determined to have a competitive tool for vibe coders, so it pushed this through. The problem is that, logically, no one who was at the level of using an IDE or Gemini CLI wanted anything else, at most some improvements to the existing applications. So instead of simply and quietly updating Antigravity to Antigravity IDE ā only the name would have changed ā they made a mess of the playground for vibe coders, thereby breaking existing and working IDE instances. Whether this was deliberate, so we could see the artistry of their ability to copy from others, or just amateurishness in production, will likely remain a matter of speculation.
