Google killed the Antigravity IDE overnight. No warning. No migration path. Just gone.
I'll keep this short because Google's communication already used up my patience.
Yesterday, Antigravity 2.0 force-updated every existing IDE user with zero warning. No changelog, no opt-out. You open your app and you're in something that looks nothing like what you installed. The actual IDE — the VS Code fork — is now buried at the bottom of a product page. The main product is a desktop agent app competing with Claude Code and Codex.
My read: Google saw Cursor eating their lunch and panicked. Instead of improving the IDE, they gutted it and built something aimed at people who can't code. Great. The people who actually reported bugs, built workflows around this tool, and wrote tutorials for it got migrated without a heads-up.
What kills me is how little it would've taken:
- A changelog notice before the update
- A different product name so existing users know what they're getting
- The IDE not being hidden like an embarrassing old version
Oh, and the first thing a lot of users saw after the update? Broken auth. Couldn't even log in.
I've been through enough Google product cycles to know how this goes. They'll keep the IDE around just long enough to say they didn't kill it, then quietly drop it when the user numbers don't justify the maintenance.
Did anyone else get zero warning? Or am I missing something?
