Ask HN: Did you enjoy Google I/O 2025?

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched all the talks, and I usually tune in for the web stuff and main keynotes, so I’m genuinely asking: what was your experience? Like, for Android or Cloud, except for AI(more on that below).

Regarding the web stuff I remember the 2024 edition being more exciting, I can't help but feel disappointed and a bit sad about this year's edition. Let me explain. In general I feel like it was less content, except for AI, compared to previous editions, for example, where was Flutter? Flow presentation was astonishing and scary at the same time, but I understand the importance of AI myself, they’re not only doubling down on that but they also want to tell the world they’re at the top of the game, I get that. But other than that, it seemed mostly an “empty” event for me, nothing new on the web stuff that I didn’t already know about, and it’s uninteresting because it’s been available exclusively to Chrome for a while. And no, continuing to stress how important Baseline is won’t make it more useful(my strong opinion). Finally pushing down AI on everything from Web APIs(risking strong lock-in) and on the already excellent developer tools, makes absolutely no sense to me. So all in all it felt a bit stagnant and, sad cherry on top, I discovered through a user comment that one of the guys on the Chrome team wasn’t there presenting because he was laid off(Adam Argyle). What do you guys think? How was your experience?
