Does anyone actually use Gemini 3 now? I cant stand its sleek salesy way of introduction, and it doesnt hold to instructions hard – makes it unapplicable for MECE breakdowns or for writing.

I do. It's excellent when paired with an MCP like context7.

I dont agree, Gemini 3 is pretty good, even the Lite version.

It indeed departs from instructions pretty regularly. But I find it very useful and for the price it beats the world.

"The price" is the marginal price I am paying on top of my existing Google 1, YouTube Premium, and Google Fi subs, so basically nothing on the margin.
