Everyone seems to mention Claude.

I use Gemini.

My question for those who have lots of experience with both: is there a significant difference between the two in coding?

(Reason I prefer Gemini: my first vibe code, I used Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to "one-shot" the same software goal. Only Gemini's code worked right off-the-bat.)

Same here. I use a paid Gemini plan and get outstanding results, but for coding, it's not as good as Codex or Claude Code. But the worst is Grok - I've tried Grok Build, and for the first time in over 6 months, I saw gross hallucinations. DeepSeek is much, much better than Grok in every way.
