The rest of out here watching usage and telemetry to decide where to invest, meanwhile, over at Google…

What if their telemetry shows very low usage? I've seen virtually no discussion of Gemini CLI online.

Whats to discuss, it works, it does the job, cant complain.

There are 13,700 forks of its repo on Github.

If anything, I suspect closing the source for their coding agent may have been part of the goal.
