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! :)

Same here. Tried to implement a new feature on one of our apps to test it. It completely screwed things up. Used undefined functions and stuff. After a couple of iterations of error reporting and fixing I gave up.

Claude did it fine but I was not happy with the code. What Gemini came up with was much better but it could not tie things together at the end.

Sounds like you can use gemini to create the initial code, then have claude review and finalise what gemini comes up with
