Claude Code + Opus 4.5 is an order of magnitude better than Gemini CLI + Gemini 3 Pro (at least, last time I tried it).

I don't know how much secret sauce is in CC vs the underlying model, but I would need a lot of convincing to even bother with Gemini CLI again.

That hasn’t been my experience. I agree Opus has the edge but it’s not by that much and I still sometimes get better results from Gemini, especially when debugging issues.

Claude Code is much better than Gemini CLI though.
