Has anyone switched to Gemini CLI? It's so important but also exhausting keeping up with which model is the leading edge. Especially since every model has different idiosyncrasies you have to learn to work with it effectively.

Currently my ranking is

* Cursor composer: impressively fast and able but not tuned to be that agentic, so it's better for one-shot code changes than long-running tasks. Fantastic UI.

* Claude Code: Works great if you can set up a verifiable environment, a clear plan and set it loose to build something for an hour

* Grok: Similar to cursor composer but slower and more agentic. Not currently using.

* ChatGPT Codex, Gemini: Haven't tried yet.
