Is it really that much better than Claude? Claude has been my daily driver for a couple years now and I imagine if Gemini was THAT much better, I would’ve heard about it by now.

I haven’t had a chance to use it for code yet but now that Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 Pro came out I started throwing side by side queries at both and Gemini has been consistently more accurate and useful. A bit of a shame because I find Gemini’s style to be a bit annoying.

From what I've read and heard Gemini is the superior model but Claude Code is the better tool.

Certainly close enough that Claud can't be claimed to be "simply the best/most consistent coding assistant".
