I have not tried the Gemini CLI in a few months but when I did it was a shit show.
Google makes it very hard to use their shit and it was full of bugs.
Anthropic's current run is based entirely around Claude Code in this space and the last time I used the gemeini-cli it wouldnt give me access to the latest models and I was paying them for the privilege
- Tuna-Fish 4mo agoGoogle trashed the Gemini CLI client and replaced it with agy (antigravity), which is written in go and is much nicer.
- tempest_ 4mo agoSo they did. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/27274 https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/2727... I get the complaints in that thread but I still think it is hilarious. That repo is a gong show to random shit and perhaps one of the best worst examples of "opensource" LLM development.
- throwawaycan 4mo agoInteresting you say that. Every user I speak to says antigravity cli is missing lots of features and Gemini cli was working quite well. Same for me.
- Tuna-Fish 4mo agoIt's not as feature rich, but has also not crashed once for me, unlike gemini cli, which was a flickery, unstable mess.
- marysol5 4mo agoIt will also just sit there "thinking" for ages, if whatever you are doing requires an input (like sudo) Sometimes you have to tab across and give it a PW, but it seemingly is incapable of parsing that, and just asking. Kiro, what we use at work, on the other hand will just prompt you. (And doesn't like taking credentials directly)
