My heart really sinks every time someone launches a "new IDE" and it turns out to be VS Code. VSCode can be turned into an IDE for _some_ platforms. But not for others. It remains a text editor with some nice extras (syntax highlighting, navigation) but lacking others (debugger, testing, ...).

What's most astonishing is that I can't seem to find what actual platforms it works for. I don't doubt the LLM's can write code in almost any language and for almost all frameworks, with varying success.

But which languages/platforms/framework will the IDE work for technically, having compilers etc built in? I don't care if an LLM can help me with the code, if I then can't compile it within the same IDE!

They have a "full stack" use case here, which doesn't even suggest what this stack consists of? https://antigravity.google/use-cases/fullstack

Am I going crazy or are they just handwaving the _actual_ development tasks in all this?
