I run Gemini Pro from within CC but I only use it for analysis and planning for which it is better than Claude (Opus).
I guess if your target language is Python or JS/TS etc., your milage may be considerably better.
For Rust it's simply not true.
Note: all of them sometimes screw up applying diffs, but in general are good enough.
So the team at least seems to be aware of its shortcomings in that area and working to improve it with some success which I appreciate.
But you are correct that Gemini CLI still lags behind for whatever reason. It gets stuck in endless thought loops way too often for me, like maybe 1/15 tasks hits a thought loop burning API credits or it just never exits from the “Completing task, Verifying completion, Reviewing completion, Assessing completion status…” phase (watching the comical number of ways it rephrases it is pretty funny though).
Meanwhile I’ve only had maybe one loop over a period of a couple months using Gemini 2.5 Pro heavily in Roo Code with the most recent version so it seems like an issue with the CLI specifically.
I have auto approve turned on for most routine tasks and run Gemini for relatively long (by Cline/Roo standards) tasks unsupervised without issue, with the normal caveats of any LLM going off the deep end every now and then but haven't seen that more frequently with Gemini except in the first couple months 2.5 Pro was released.
