gemini is widely touted to the best model out there, and it costs you nothing to try it out? so do that for a few weeks and see?

I exclusively use gemini and I've been very happy with it.

Gemini is like a wild horse. It bucks and refuses to use tools, moves many things, deletes whenever it wants, I want a kind old horse, and I find that in Claude, it does what I want, usually exactly the way I want it, usually clocking in under a dollar per task. I've seen gemini do plenty of one-shots, but I still have not seen it--even in its costliest form--properly navigate large monorepos or less well-trodden libraries. As for chatGPT, I don't like them either. Their codex model is okay, but again the consistency isn't there, I feel like I can ask claude more questions per session and not have it decay
