Gemini CLI is so incomprehensibly bad. I can only hope dedicated focus on agy will be the difference maker. It'd be nice to actually be able to integrate Gemini models into my workflows because they offer genuinely unique approaches to problems that complement Claude/Codex really well.

Lots of people throwing shade at Gemini CLI in the comments. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I enjoy using it. I haven't tried antigravity at all yet. I hope it will be an experience that is somewhat close to agentic coding on the CLI. I hit other model providers from Pi agent, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of my Google AI subscription on the CLI.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The rest of out here watching usage and telemetry to decide where to invest, meanwhile, over at Google…

What if their telemetry shows very low usage? I've seen virtually no discussion of Gemini CLI online.

There are 13,700 forks of its repo on Github.

If anything, I suspect closing the source for their coding agent may have been part of the goal.

I have been a happy user of Gemini CLI.

What makes it "incomprehensibly bad." in your opinion?

This is a double edged sword for me, I've dabbled with the Antigravity CLI and it is better but I got a lot of LLM use out of google's chaotic decentralized quotas.

gemini-cli had it's own quota, antigravity had it's own quota, and ai studio had it's own free tier quota and I managed to make use of all of them super cheaply.

Now they're finally unifying everything and cutting down, which is less of a cognitive load to keep track of quotas but also fewer benefits

I stopped using Google products due to their propensity for killing them off. I continue to be proven correct in my assertion that they do not care about their customers.

100%. I really wish that I could treat them as a valid option, but they continuously reaffirm the position that it is dangerous to rely on them for anything commercial.
