Why Developers are Fighting Over Google’s Cursor Killer Antigravity

Google has been relatively quiet when it comes to making agentic coding or vibe coding announcements. The furthest it went was with Jules, Vertex AI, or Gemini CLI, obviously apart from acquiring Windsurf. But now, the company has decided to enter the field formally with Antigrativy. 

The company is trying to land its agentic IDE into a space packed with hype, skepticism, forking drama and an audience tired of experimenting with half-finished tools. Antigravity allows agents to “autonomously plan and execute complex, end-to-end software tasks” with direct access to an editor, terminal and browser. 

It comes with Gemini 3, which is already ruling a ton of hearts amongst creators and developers in Cursor, GitHub and Replit. 

Out in the open, opinion on Antigravity remained split. Some are cancelling their $6o Cursor subscriptions, some claim “Google is changing the VIBE CODING game.” Others say that it seems like it’s still in Beta and is worse than Cursor and Copilot. 

But What’s Really Happening?

Coming to the positives first, Antigravity does things that others cannot. It can do full screen recordings to verify your app actually works in real time. “Screen recording + live debugging gives AI the kind of context developers used to dream about,” a software engineer demoed on X.
