I used to use Gemini (the product) because it's free. But its responses are so incredibly bad, and the interface has so many dumb bugs, that I stopped using it and switched to OpenCode Go models + Web UI. Gemini models can recite deep knowledge, but they can't do constructive things, can't do extended web research, can't provide more than a couple options for an answer. Either their system prompt is nerfed like crazy or the models just suck at agentic work. Even ChatGPT from 2025 was better than Gemini today.
