As a consumer, it is so exhausting keeping up with what model I should or can be using for the task I want to accomplish.

Gemini 2.5 Pro for every single task was the meta until this release. Will have to reassess now.

Huh. I use Gemini 2.0 Flash for many things because it's several times faster than 2.5 Pro.

Agreed.

I pretty much stopped shopping around once Gemini 2.0 Flash came out.

For general, cloud-centric software development help, it does the job just fine.

I'm honestly quite fond of this Gemini model. I feel silly saying that, but it's true.

Yes, this one is addictive for its speed and I like how Google was clever and also offered it in a powerful reasoning edition. This helps offset deficiencies from being smaller while still being cheap. I also find it quite sufficient for my kind of coding. I only pull out 2.5 Pro on larger and complex code bases that I think might need deeper domain specific knowledge beyond the coding itself.
