The Claude Code extension on VS Code does very little (too little in my opinion). The integration level with agentic functionality provided by Antigravity goes much deeper in my 20 minutes or so of playing with it. The biggest value pieces I see is: Agent Manager window which provides a unified view of all my agents running across all my workspaces (!) where I can quickly approve or respond to followup questions and quickly brings me to the code in context for each agent, additionally, I can select a piece of code and comment on it inline and that comment gets sent to the correct, active agent. These two things alone are items which I have been looking for... Too bad I only have approval to use Claude Code at work. This looks promising.

That’s all very silly and unnecessary in my opinion. Agentic change by change diffs are optimal for a professional.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion but many people would disagree with you, and that's the crux of the issue, everyone has their own conflicting views on what the UX should be, hence all the forks.

I don't even know what the Claude Code extension does in vscode. I have it installed but hell if I know what it's doing. I run Claude in one of vscode's terminals, and do everything through there. I do see (sometimes) diffs pop up in the IDE, I guess that's the extent of this integration.

Thanks, thought i was the only one not getting what the extension is useful for (which i couldn't do easier over the cli)
