Why I Switched from GitHub Copilot to Antigravity IDE
I’m Tolga Işık, a software engineer, and I recently switched from GitHub Copilot to Antigravity IDE. This was not a random change. My workflow stayed the same, but the cost and the level of control I had over the models became harder to justify.
- Token multipliers started draining my budget in a single day even though I had not changed the way I work.
- Model support felt limited and too opinionated. GitHub Copilot tried to choose models for me, but I prefer deciding for myself because some models are better than others depending on the data they are trained on.
That is why Antigravity IDE feels like a better fit for me. I want predictable costs, wider model support, and the freedom to choose the tools that match how I work. From my perspective, GitHub Copilot is not good anymore. When a tool becomes more restrictive and more expensive without improving my workflow, it stops being useful.
