Google just gave up on making you switch IDEs. Antigravity — the agent-first editor launched alongside Gemini 3 — now ships as official extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, the full JetBrains lineup (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, Rider), and Zed.
What you actually get
Antigravity’s coding agent in a side panel of your current editor: agent conversations, inline diffs, reviewable execution plans, and multi-step task delegation — no more moving projects into the Antigravity 2.0 desktop app. One account works across every environment. The VS Code extension is live on the marketplace for macOS, Linux, and Windows; Visual Studio 2026 and JetBrains (from 2026.2.1) are in preview. Gemini Enterprise subscribers can enable it directly, with admin-level budget and access controls.
Why this matters
Cursor’s entire pitch is “our IDE is the moat.” Claude Code went terminal-first. Google picked the third path: embed the agent wherever developers already live. When the company with the deepest distribution stops asking you to move and starts moving to you, the switching-cost story behind every standalone AI IDE gets a lot weaker.
