In what regard do you consider coinbase a "good alternative" to anything, let alone gemini?

The issues people have consistently reported with it for as long as I've known about it - bad lock-ins during fluctuations, difficulty resolving support requests and withdrawing - are all borderline showstoppers from where I sit; I don't think I'd ever use let alone recommend coinbase to anyone, no offense to its employees in this thread.

I stated merely my personal experience. I recognize others have different experiences... usually because of Coinbase's fraud detection false positives. Use Coinbase for a while, building a history of buying or selling, and it will help.
Still, in your personal experience, there would/could be examples of things it "does better" than gemini. I was wondering what those were.
