Nowhere on their marketing copy do they own up to that. Even the majority of the UI screenshots intentionally exclude the full UI look and feel and most are plucked out to not even look contextually like they're part of a greater IDE interface. It very much feels like they want to call it their own and not a fork of VS Code.

But wait, there's more ... you can also view https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-2 where it's no longer a VS Code fork but now a clone of Claude Desktop!

I think it's a fair to label this all as unoriginal and uninspiring.

I can't think of an AI-enabled IDE project that's not a fork of VSCode - There is only Zed, though I don't know if we can compare it to Antigravity or Cursor.

I am not sure if they have to explicitly say it's VSCode - do we expect car companies to say "Hey we actually rebadged this to X but it's originally Y" - those who need to know, already know.

It's still using a fork of vscode and literally everyone is aware that these other IDEs are forked.

The target users for Antigravity don't necessarily know what VS Code is.
