This is cool!
Gemini CLI, Claude Code... I have been waiting for a review of these CLI coding tools, and, Here, It, Is.
Good work, Emmanuel!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. These tools are evolving fast, and I figured it was time someone put them head-to-head in real-world tasks. Glad it was helpful
Amazing list!
Thank you!
Very professionally done.
Thank you Gary. Glad it helps.
Really nice list! The only thing missing I think is the pricing (Yes I am a student so I am concerned about that)
Cursor has free student tier for Pro but it is not available in India.
Claude Code is super expensive.
Gemini CLI has free tier that is good enough for me to test it out!
Gemini CLI has a generous free tier, I am gonna use that!
Another generated article? No summary, no winner, no results, no comparison (but title is present).
When I was running Gemini - it generated code, but then used 50% of tokens running in cycles trying to fix lint warnings. Also it is slow. Claude looks better.
The Gemini CLI drop has been a train wreck. IMO not worth grabbing till they sort out the kinks.
Seems like they just had an AI reverse engineer Claude code and just released it open source and hoped the community would fix it. To their credit, offering 1000 messages free will definitely do the trick and get people interested in contributing. I think it will be the most powerful CLI in a couple months by far.
It's extremely slow. It couldn't even handle a simple task like installing the latest version of Tailwind CSS, yet Cursor installed it without a hitch, creating all the necessary files. So far, it's been a bad experience.
Wait? When did you review these because a lot of the information is not correct
Thanks for the tutorial! I did try Gemini CLI, but I'm not sure how I'm going to use it because I'm using agents in IDEs. Do you see any good use cases?
Try Gemini Code Assist in VSCode and you get the same agent.
Here's my experience with Gemini Cli on Android - first impression was a pain as it kept freezing and not doing anything. After updating - Improved a lot and now doesn't freeze when changing models and is quicker
What a sloppy article. You gotta at least read the article you generate and make sure it makes sense and theres not whole sections missing:
, for example this line with no content that follows: "Once installed, you’ll typically use commands like..."
There's also a lot of talk without actually saying anything informative or substantial.
It's sloppy, low-effort, hollow content like this that gives anti ai folks all the ammunition they need to draw unfair conclusions about ai use.
Agreed
What about aider.chat ?
This! Install with python then get a key from openrouter and Bob's your uncle
Shouldn’t Warp been tested as well?
Good for use! Like!
