Not if you write Rust. From regularly producing code that has unbalanced braces or quote characters somewhere to destroying well working code. It also easily gets into loops where it can't solve a problem, comes up with a half-working solution A, throws it away, comes up with B, then C, then goes back to A etc.

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.

Are you saying Claude is better at writing Rust or Gemini? Or Gemini in Gemini CLI? Not following. In my experience, Gemini 2.5 PRO is better at writing Rust overall.

		My experience is Claude is better at writing rust than Gemini. Gemini cli gets confused easily. But has good higher level picture. In my use case where Gemini is the architect, it even provides full code changes to claude (does not directly compile most of the time, misses move of structs) and claude makes those changes. It works better for me that way.
