Been using Claude Code (4 Opus) fairly successfully in a large Rust codebase, but sometimes frustrated by it with complex tasks. Tried Gemini CLI today (easy to get working, which was nice) and it was pretty much a failure. It did a notably worse job than Claude at having the Rust code modifications compile successfully.

However, Gemini at one point output what will probably be the highlight of my day:

"I have made a complete mess of the code. I will now revert all changes I have made to the codebase and start over."

What great self-awareness and willingness to scrap the work! :)

So far I've found Gemini CLI is very good at explaining what existing code does.

I can't say much about writing new code though.
