alt Hacker NewsFull time Antigravity user here, IMO best value coding assistant by far, not even including all the other AI Pro sub perks.
Still using Claude Pro / GitHub Copilot subs for general terminal/VS Code access to Claude. I consider them all top-tier models, but I prefer the full IDE UX of Antigravity over the VS Code CC sidebar or CC terminal.
Opus 4.5 is obviously great at all things code, tho a lot of times I prefer Gemini 3 Pro (High) UI's. In the last month I've primarily used it on a Python / Vue project which it excels at, I thought I would've need to switch to Opus at some point if I wasn't happy with a particular implementation, but I haven't yet. Few times it didn't generate the right result was due to prompt misunderstanding which I was able to fix by reprompting.
I'm still using Claude/GPT 5.2 for docs as IMO they have a more sophisticated command over the English language. But for pure coding assistance, I'm a happy Antigravity user.

Antigravity is really amazing yea, by far the best coding assistant IDE, its even superior than Cursor ngl when it comes to very complex tasks, its more methodical in its approach.
That said I still use Cursor for work and Antigravity sometimes for building toy projects, they are both good.
Looks like codex + antigravity (which gives opus, too) for $40/mo is the sweet busy hobbyist spot… today, anyway. It could change this afternoon.
So far I only used Antigravity for side projects and I am having so much fun. That said, I get much better results with Opus than with the Gemini models for moderately complex tasks.
