I tried Gemini like a year or so ago, and I gave up after it directly refused to write me a script and instead tried to tell me how to learn to code. I do not make this up.

That's at least two major updates ago. Probably worth another try.
Gemini is my preferred LLM for coding, but it still does goofy shit once in a while even with the latest version.
I'm 99.9999% sure Gemini has a dynamic scaling system that will route you to smaller models when its overloaded, and that seems to be when it will still occasionally do things like tell you it edited some files without actually presenting the changes to you or go off on other strange tangents.
I tried it on Tuesday and, having used CC a lot lately, was shocked at how bad it was - I'd forgotten.
