Out of curiosity, why do you like gemini-cli better than claude or codex? And do you have any comparisons to opencode or pi?
Personally I've really liked OpenCode's TUI, but maybe on a superficial level of "this looks good and feels ergonomic to me".
Gemini cli felt clunky for me when I tried a while ago, but maybe it's better now? I do like how it's open source and I'm wondering if it can be made as model agnostic as OpenCode.
- NeutralWanted 5mo agoI don't really see or feel a difference in a lot of the the cli tooling, however, for development work Gemini is just hands down better. And I pay for ultra, and while that's not cheap, I know I can just use it however long I want for whatever I want and I'll never go past the price I pay unlike some API key only models.
- mistercheese 5mo agoNice! With Anthropic and OpenAI lowering usage limits that’s a big deal. I’ve been considering a Gemini subscription because I’m already paying for the Google storage plan and it would only be $10 a month more for me. Do you use Gemini 3.1 pro or the flash model or just auto? Any feelings about quality vs other models?
- theshrike79 5mo agoI don't trust gemini-cli. It's the only one that consistently just starts breaking shit without prompting. I'll give it something like "investigate this issue: <stack trace>" and tab out. Then I come back and the motherfucker has rewritten half the codebase. This has happened MULTIPLE times.
