This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.

> Agentic coding deserves more than a chat box bolted onto VS Code So, Antigravity 2.0 then?

if someone would give me 60bn to put a chatbox in vscode I would happily do it

Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a video to figure that out.

It would appear that the author of this posted a big pile of AI slop describing project and was heavily downvoted.

So the defaults are Codex and Claude? I use neither.

Like with most full products that are vibecoded, there's very little to no originality in this - just strange packaging of things that already exist.

Am I the only one who is getting tired of all the AI stuff in VS Code? I just want to open my ide and not be greeted by a dozen AI prompts begging to have it code something for me. Its such a distraction. I want less of this stuff not more of it.

The mushroom product video gave me a good laugh. Thank you!

Product looks awesome, please take the time to write a human-made README.

I just need shells — no IDE integration whatsoever. I work across several large codebases in Xcode, Android Studio, and Visual Studio, and I don't want anything wired into them; I just want shells running alongside, exactly like git. Forced docked windows here and there don't help. The best thing about Codex and Claude Code is that I can spin up as many shells as I want and work on as many bugs and features as I can handle in parallel.
