Why is the Cli so bad?

I’m using Gemini Cli and it is excellent. Except when it doesn’t work. Which is 70% of the time.

I get errors saying the model is experiencing high demand,
I get API errors,
It takes 20m to solve an issue codex takes 2m to solve.

I love the model but I just can’t use the damn product.

Oh and before anyone says ‘Antigravity’ - that won’t even respond to my prompts!!

Utter trash from Google. Or am I doing fundamentally something wrong?
