My anecdote: smart but too stubborn to be useful.

I have been trying Gemini since 2.5 for coding.

It is the smartest for creative web stuff like HTML/CSS/JS.

But it has been very stubborn with following instructions like AGENTS.md.

And architecturally for large projects I tested, the code isn't on par with Opus 4.5+ and GPT 5.3+.

I would rather use DeepSeek 4 Flash on High (not max) than Gemini even if they had the same cost.

I currently use GPT 5.5 + DeepSeek 4 Flash.

BUT I didn't test Gemini 3.5 Flash yet. And it seems, from another comment in this post, that the Antigravity quota for is bricked for Google Pro plans which is the plan I have. So I don't have high hopes.
