Yes, this one is addictive for its speed and I like how Google was clever and also offered it in a powerful reasoning edition. This helps offset deficiencies from being smaller while still being cheap. I also find it quite sufficient for my kind of coding. I only pull out 2.5 Pro on larger and complex code bases that I think might need deeper domain specific knowledge beyond the coding itself.

For general, cloud-centric software development help, it does the job just fine.
I'm honestly quite fond of this Gemini model. I feel silly saying that, but it's true.
