Gallente boats aren't more popular in PvP because most EVE players are carebears, Drake blobbers or minmatards and couldn't fit a ship unless someone linked them a failfit from Battleclinic.

Why should you? Gallente is just as great as any race.

Time to start cross training minimitar anyway so I have something if I stumble my way into a big corp at some point, still getting my feet wet. Quote:Why should you?

Yes you can :) I don't fly anything else, small gang warfare in wormholes and low. The effect of race is minimal compared to your own (and gangs) combat skills and tactical excellence, choose your engagements so they favor your ship/gang comp and you can succeed with any ship. That said, Gallente today has several ships that rank very highly, starting with frigates (AFs and ceptors included) to the deadly cloaky Proteus and the almost-OP Talos.
I regard Talos as a game changer for Gallente, it offers a very powerful option for nano-gangs, something we didn't have before. It's faster and lays a lot more hurt at superior range to a nano-Cane, for example.
T1 cruisers are not common in w-space, but post-Crucible Vexor compares very favorably to a Rupture, and Thorax is a classic.

That's the Minmatar fantasy. On Tranquility, however, the situation is more like a riot. Gallente, the riot police advancing relentlessly while Minmatar hippies pitifully plink them with little stones. In the end the hippies either run away, or get beaten to a bloody pulp.

FYP
For other Gal ships, toss the opponent with ECM drones and warp away.
