What's great
For a very long time I had all these ideas that I couldn't act on. Antigravity has allowed me to just explore and create again, which is a wonderful feeling. The recent addition of skills has exploded my workflow productivity, it literally handles my inbox and calendar for me now. I've been a Google fanboy for a long time and I love what they're doing here.
What needs improvement
Still has some minor UI quirks and small bugs as expected with a new tool, but nothing that stops the workflow. I’m excited to see more built-in skills added.
vs Alternatives
I’ve used Cursor and Claude Code extensively, but they always felt like advanced autocomplete. I chose Antigravity because it bridges the gap between "writing code" and "getting things done." The autonomous skills, handling my real-world emails, calendar, and project setup, along with the deep planning it applies to project architecture, make it the only tool that actually feels like a teammate instead of just a text editor.
How well do the autonomous agents handle multi-file refactors?
Incredibly well. It’s the only tool I’ve found that actually researches the dependencies across the whole codebase before proposing a change, rather than just guessing.
Does it integrate smoothly with my current IDE?
It has completely replaced my previous setup. The transition was smooth, and it handles my local environment much better than typical cloud-based AI tools
Did it reduce code review time and defect rates?
As a solo dev, it has significantly reduced my "self-review" time. The implementation plans it generates allow me to catch design flaws before the code is even written
