With all due to respect to the folks working on Antigravity, this feels like a vibe-coded VSCode fork to me. Font sizes, icon sizes, panel sizes are all over the place (why?). To top it all off, the first request just failed with overload/quota exceeded errors (understandable, but still).

Looks like I'll wait to see if Google cares about putting the polish into a VSCode fork that at least comes close to what Cursor did.

The UI is certainly buggy, and things are getting fixed all the time. Guess it was more a "let people try the agent manager" instead of overfocusing on looks.

That's 100% what it is, and rushed at that. Competition is (generally) a good thing though, only time can tell which IDE comes out on top.
