Sorry for the noob question, but claude has claudecode, does Gemini Pro work with any software in the same way "claudecode" works? If so what software would I use with it? Thank you.

Aider is worth a look.

The current rate limits for Gemini 2.5 Pro make it hard to run something like Claude Code with it, since that tool is very API chatty.

Most people use Cursor. Aider and Cline are other options. All of these work with all of the popular LLM APIs. Even among people using Claude, I would bet more of them are using Claude through Cursor than through Claude code.

Hi Simon. Do you recommend aider over Cursor? I've always used aider, and like it, but it just seems like Cursor is overtaking it in terms of features, and I wonder if sticking with aider still makes sense.

I don't actually use Aider or Cursor myself - I still mostly work in the ChatGPT and Claude web interfaces (or apps) directly and do a lot of copy and pasting.
