Gemini 2.0 isn't particularly great at coding. The Gemini 1206 preview that was released just before 2.0 is quite good, though. Still, it hasn't taken the crown from Claude 3.5 Sonnet (which appears to now be tied with o1). Very much agree about Cline + VSCode, BTW. My preferred models with Cline are 3.5 Sonnet and 3.5 Haiku. I can throw the more complex problems at Sonnet and use Haiku for everything else.
