Antigravity: what developers actually say
We read every Hacker News comment from Nov 2025 – Nov 2026 that gave a real opinion on Antigravity. 238 of the 301 opinions come from people who say they use it themselves.
Developers give Antigravity 45% approval across 301 opinions from 259 authors. Approval is 42% over the last 90 days. Speed and code quality draw more praise than criticism (19 vs 7 and 15 vs 8), and users like the multi-agent workflow and the agy CLI. Reliability is the main problem at 57 negative comments against 16 positive, with stalled runs, security blocks and slow sessions; usage limits and UX also skew negative, and the thin November sample of 52 opinions leans sharply negative.
