Antigravity is an amazing tool! The shift from Editor View to Manager View is brilliant for managing complex projects.

Great work on this! 🚀

Still early but It is crazy what you can achieve with Antigravity. A true coding companion that can access a browser for unit testing.
Worth testing in your day to day Dev.
I have given it some challenges that it solve amazingly.

I like it very much but I still use vscode because the tokens are limited. Therefore I combined the two and I am very pleased by the results.

I downloaded Antigravity on release day, but I haven't tried it yet. I think this article is the last kick I need to try it out in the next week or so.
