Gemini fan quits over limits, hallucinations

This reads less like a single bad answer and more like a trust collapse. Gemini may still look strong on paper, but when every surface has different limits, queues, and pricing pressure, power users start shopping for local or open alternatives.

• –The complaint spans the whole Gemini stack: CLI, Antigravity, web chat, NotebookLM, Jules, and Workspace integrations.
• –Google is actively re-tiering access, so the frustration is about moving quotas and packaging as much as model quality.
• –Latency matters as much as benchmark scores; a two-minute wait for a CLI action makes the tool feel unusable for serious work.
• –Hallucinations are annoying, but the bigger problem is inconsistent reliability across workflows the user paid to depend on.
• –Local/open models look attractive here because they are portable and predictable, even if they lag frontier Gemini on raw capability.
