Google Antigravity IDE: Rebranded VS Code or the Future?

Everyone is talking about Google's new Antigravity IDE. It promises to shift us from "Copilots" (autocomplete) to "Agents" (AI that actually does the work).

I decided to move my entire workflow to Antigravity for a weekend project to see if the hype is real.

The experience was surreal.
Instead of just writing code, the IDE entered "Planning Mode." It generated a task list, wrote a Flask app, and this is the crazy part—opened a built-in browser to test and debug its own work while I watched.

But is it ready for daily use?
After 48 hours, I found that while the "Mission Control" is impressive, there are some significant resource issues and "confusion loops" you need to know about before you uninstall VS Code.

I broke down the full setup process, the Pros/Cons, and my final verdict on whether this is actually the future or just a gimmick.
