This is a recurring theme with Google. Their models are phenomenal but the systems around them are so bad that it degrades the whole experience. Veo3 great model horrible website, and so on...

Their massive increase in token processing since Veo3 and nano banana have been released would say otherwise...

Or we're all just used to eating things we don't like and smiling.

That has been my experience as well with every Gemini model, ugh!
