Using Gemini In Search For A Task (Public Board)

Yeah, it looks like Gemini in search is helpful as an advanced Stackoverflow that isn't rude to you.

Gemini Antigravity IDE was awful because:

- It has to rescan all your code every time you restart the editor, burning tokens.
- It was dumb enough to scan files ending in ~ when I had edited them in emacs. (I had permissions set to strict so it was telling me what it scanned.) This also burns tokens.
- It got stuck in loops, further burning tokens.
- The editor had so many obvious bugs that I couldn't believe it was seriously released as a project.
- When it finds a bug, it completely refactors everything rather than just fixing the bug. Example: Gemini in search decided to change the name of my class, but I just ignored that part and fixed its output. Antigravity IDE would change my code and update every class name.

Gemini in search is a lot better. Google caches the context so you don't have to restart conversations! I'm only cut+paste code, so it doesn't get stuck in a loop trying to scan my entire hard drive or stuck in a loop of trying the same thing and failing.
