Hmm, I'm still feeling it out, but it appears to plan more and ask if it is good, which is a huge improvement over Gemini 3 and behavior more consistent with Gemini 2.5 Pro. Gemini 3 Pro was a significant regression, put plain and simply. It was a bad release. I'm hoping Gemini 3.1 Pro just does not generally rush to code, that was just the worst part of Gemini 3.
So far so good.
