Gallente used to be the most versatile suit, but now Amarr has a side-arm and an additional EQ slot at ADV with an additional low in proto. They make up for Armor tanking by being the best at DPS of all Logibros and max repair rate, and remains the only Logi that can actually AV without being useless against infantry. So where does this leave Gallente? The passive skill is mediocre, the suit is build to armor tank, and without a side-arm and the repair rate of Amarr, it can't make up for being inferior to Shield tankers. EQ abuse doesn't work out either. Scanners don't provide any WP, and only scouts have a reason to use them, there is no reason to skill up to proto RE/PM. Needle at a proto level doesn't strain the suit for the passive to really take effect. To a lesser extent, the same goes for the Gauged Nanohive. I suppose proto repair tool is good to have, but honestly Triage ADV will get you going fine. The only real EQ that takes advantage of the Gallente passive are Triage Nanohives, but to use the Gallente just lower the CPU of Triage Hives by 21 is hardly a reason to use Gallente over any other Logi suit.

The sidearm thing is only new for the STD and AV ones. The Gallente one has 8 mod slots, 5 lows for high HP armor tanking. Also 4 equipment slots unlike the Amarr and Caldari ones. Gk.0 also has the most PG/CPU out of all proto logis I believe. That's my point. Shield tanking > 4 slots. Side arm > 4 slots. The only reason to use the fourth slot is really for REs, which may or may not be useful depending on the map while shield tanking and Side-arm is always useful period. And armor tanking is terrible, you still get OHKO'd by grenades, you're slow as a snail, you have inferior repair rate, and you alsways have to compete with stuff like CPU/PG upgrades, and they will always win over armor plates. This means the Gallente has to rely on it's passive skill to stand out, but the passive skill is so mediocre, it make that it makes the suit inferior to the rest of the Logis.
