you've never tried to use gemini 3 I guess - that thing was so unreliable it might as well not be offered; there's also a reason why everybody here is excited for claude and codex, but not really for antigravity.
that said, I actually agree: google IMHO silently dominates the 'normie business' chatbot area. gemini is low key great for day to day stuff.
Yeah Gemini is not usable outside of the gemini.google.com homepage and AI Studio. Gemini CLI does not work at all and all the models are constantly overloaded or time out. Got a trial month and there was not a single day I could actually work with Gemini in a coding harness, 3.1 Pro was never reachable. Awful service, imagine if I'd have paid for this. Additionally since roughly two weeks Gemini 2.5 Flash (a stable GA model) is constantly throwing backend errors on Google's side when Grounding is on.
