Roo Code archived on May 15. Google's Antigravity 2.0 update overwrote the IDE with a chatbot the same week. Different reasons, same outcome for developers: the tool you built around isn't the tool you have anymore. The data backs it up: 95% of devs use AI weekly, 70% juggle 2-4 tools at once. Nobody's converging on one surface. The teams winning aren't the ones who picked the "right" tool, they're the ones whose workflows survive when a vendor pivots, a model gets deprecated, or pricing changes overnight. Build for portability across surfaces, models, and providers.
