Google Antigravity's April update finally made it usable, and VS Code should be worried

Google Antigravity, a VS Code fork built for agentic AI development, received a significant April update that introduced tiered agentic permissions (Allow, Ask, Deny) across terminal commands, filesystem access, network requests, and MCP tools. This lets developers configure how autonomously the AI agent operates without constant manual approval interruptions. The author switched from VS Code to Antigravity full-time after this update, citing the multi-agent execution model, full VS Code extension compatibility, and improved autonomous workflow as key advantages over standard VS Code.
