I am not even sure how to use Gemini 2.5 pro ergonomically right now. Cursor and Windsurf both obviously have issues, probably optimized too much around Claude, but what else is there?
Is everyone copy pasting into the Google AI studio or what?
Try aider.chat - it is a cli you can add files for context and it will make edits to the code directly via a commit.
One option would be https://geminicodes.co/ -- a CLI tool with Claude Code-like aesthetics.
It is a hobbyist weekend project though, the experience with Aider or ra-aid might be much better.
