"Failed to login. Ensure your Google account is not a Workspace account."

Is your vision with Gemini CLI to be geared only towards non-commercial users? I have had a workspace account since GSuite and have been constantly punished for it by Google offerings all I wanted was gmail with a custom domain and I've lost all my youtube data, all my fitbit data, I cant select different versions of some of your subscriptions (seemingly completely random across your services from a end-user perspective), and now as a Workspace account I cant use Gemini CLI for my work, which is software development. This approach strikes me as actively hostile towards your loyal paying users...

Have you checked the https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/c... ? It has a section for workspace accounts.
It shouldn’t be that hard. Logically it should just be, signin and go.
It seems that you need to set up an env variable called GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/1434

... and other stuff.

The barrier to use this project is maddening. I went through all of the setup instructions and getting the workspace error for a personal gmail account.

Googlers, we should not have to do all of this setup and prep work for a single account. Enterprise I get, but for a single user? This is insufferable.

Same story with me. It says for both Workspace and Personal accounts that they are Workspace.

Have you managed to overcome that?

Same here.
