I’ve had good experiences using it, but with the caveat that only Gemini Pro 2.5 has been at all useful, and only for “spot” tasks.

I typically use it to whip up a CLI tool or script to do something that would have been too fiddly otherwise.

While sitting in a Teams meeting I got it to use the Roslyn compiler SDK in a CLI tool that stripped a very repetitive pattern from a code base. Some OCD person had repeated the same nonsense many thousands of times. The tool cleaned up the mess in seconds.

What were they doing?

try { ... } catch (Exception e) { throw e; }

That does nothing except add visual noise.

It's like a magic incantation to make the errors go away (it doesn't actually), probably by someone used to Visual Basic's "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT" or some such.
