What do people think of Google's Gemini (Pro?) compared to Claude for code?

I really like a lot of what Google produces, but they can't seem to keep a product that they don't shut down and they can be pretty ham-fisted, both with corporate control (Chrome and corrupt practices) and censorship

For the web ui (chat)? I actually really like gemini 2.5 pro.

For the command line tool (claude code vs gemini code)? It isn't even close. Gemini code was useless. Claude code was mostly just slow.

You mean Gemini CLI. Yeah it's confusing
