I switched from VS Code to Google Antigravity and realized I don’t need half my extensions

A developer shares their experience switching from VS Code to Google Antigravity, a VS Code fork built with AI-native features. The key insight is that Antigravity's built-in capabilities — native Git history, integrated LLM autocomplete, Firebase support, and multi-repo workspace logic — eliminated the need for most third-party extensions. The author argues that over-relying on extensions made VS Code mediocre at its core job, while Antigravity's opinionated, integrated approach restores productivity without configuration overhead.
