community drama aside, great to see more open source agentic CLIs tools. other than the focus on tui design, does this have any advantage over Claude Code, Aid

  In my experience, Claude Code is scary good. Gemini CLI is just plain dumb and not worth the time.

    Gemini CLI in its current state is _dangerous_. I asked it to examine a codebase and it went lightning-fast into full refactoring mode and started "fixing" stuff - while profusely apologising because it couldn't get the code to compile :D Currently the best way to use Gemini CLI is to instruct Claude to use it when examining large codebases. Gemini investigates -> generates markdown summary -> Claude uses summary to direct itself without wasting context.

  author here we're very focused on UX and less so on LLM performance. we use all the same system prompts/config as claude code that said people do observe better performance because of out of the box LSP support - edit tools return errors and the LLM immediately fixes them

    > we're very focused on UX and less so on LLM performance Could you spin that as an actual advantage? For people like me who use VIM, have a preference about filesystems, and backup phones via adb?
