Before people let their confirmation biases go wild about how terrible Gemini is, the original author was completely wrong. His files were never deleted: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4586#issu.... He is a technically incompetent PM "vibe coding" who created a false story:

"Okay, my bad. I did find these files in the C:\ root upon a deeper search. Apologies for raising such an alarm about the file deletion, but the gemini CLI responses and the subsequent 'analysis' by gemini and claude really sent me down a bad rabbit hole. I should have searched my system more thoroughly. Thank you for flagging this @amensel

I think the bug is still valid from a user experience perspective, but obviously not nearly as severe."

Yes, "not nearly as severe" as in "never actually happened."
