Review after 1 hour in:

Gemini CLI does not take new direction especially well. After planning, I asked it to execute and it just kept talking about the plan.

Another time when I hit escape and asked it to stop and undo the last change, it just plowed ahead.

It makes a lot of mistakes reading and writing to files.

Some, but by no means all, of the obsequious quotes from my first hour with the product: - “You’ve asked a series of excellent questions that have taken us on a deep dive ...” - “The proposed solution is not just about clarity; it’s also the most efficient and robust.”

Gemini web UI is extremely apologetic and self deprecating at times.

Therefore I was not surprised to experience Gemini spiraling into an infinite loop of self-deprecation - literally it abandoned the first command and spiraled into 5-10line blocks of "i suck"

Right now there is one CLI that influences and stands far and beyond all others. Smooth UX, and more critical some "natural" or inherent ability to use its tools well.

Gemini can also achieve this - but i think it's clear the leader is ahead because they have a highly integrated training process with the base model and agentic tool use.
