Somehow gemini-cli is so janky and doesn't get the latest models. But Antigravity is the new golden child? Just have a great suite of predictably quality products.
It's the vercel way. There have been plenty of experiments leading up to this (even by vercel employees before they joined) but re-packaging it as "the" solution, rather than just a tool renderer from props (tool schema)
OpenAI seems to limit how "hard" your gpt-5-codex can think depending on your subscription plan; whereas Anthropic/Claude only limits how much use you get. I evaluate Codex every month or so with a problem suited to it, but rarely gets merged over a version produced by Charlie (which yes is $500/mo, but rarely causes problems) or something Claude did in a managed or unmanaged session. ymmv
It's a really good platform for Typescript microservices which scale-to-zero (up to very high theoretical limits), but it wouldn't be a platform you'd migrate a monolith PHP app to (for example).
You're describing why reasoning is such a big deal. It can do this freakout in a safe, internal environment, and once it's recent output is confident enough flip into the "actual output" mode.
Easy to setup and instant forks for devs was it for me. Felt the pain with dev app state in the past and this took <20 minutes to migrate (beta users only) and go live, and get back to feature work.
In the context of the wider Net Neutrality conversation (Connectiveness Neutrality?), I'm glad it's so simple. $20 + $10/gb across the board is very sane, fair, and makes no assumptions about who you are, how you're using it, or what you're using it for.
On reddit, I find [personally] most of these threads are never-ending chains of well-trodden memes or loops; this isn't something usually encouraged on Hacker News. If a thread is boring or doesn't pique curiosity it probably isn't too encouraging.
