| Codex CLI IDE just works, very impressed with the quality. If you tried it a while back and didn’t like it, try it again via the vscode extension generous usage included with plus. Ditched my Claude code max sub for the ChatGPT pro $200 plan. So much faster, and not hit any limits yet. |

| ▲ | aitchnyu 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Did anybody switch away from Aider for a compelling alternative? What was the feature? | | |
| ▲ | gen220 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I was a #1 aider stan for months, but ultimately switched to Claude Code. For me it was (1) lack of MCP (2) excessive hand-holding required (3) availability of the Max plan meant I wouldn't have to monitor cost. Claude Code's skill curve felt slightly longer than aider's, and had a higher ceiling. I think if I were more cost-sensitive, I would give Aider another whirl, or Gemini CLI (based on what I've heard, I haven't used it yet). | |

| ▲ | dsrtslnd23 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I still like aider but multi-step agentic flows are very useful so I mostly use codex and claude nowadays. If I want to do very specific edits I use aider. | | | |

| ▲ | raincole 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Why not Gemini CLI tho? | | |
| ▲ | robotswantdata 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Do not let Gemini CLI write code for you. You will find out the hard way | |
| ▲ | theshrike79 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It doesn't have a working plan mode. If you ask it to plan something or suggest something. It'll write the suggestion and dive right into implementation with zero hesitation. | | |
| ▲ | TomaszZielinski 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's not my experience, but then I have a „living” GEMINI.md doc where I add/clarify/tweak what to do and what not to do. And it's possible the initial revision already contained the correct spell :) |

| ▲ | faangguyindia 9 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | gemini cli is such a trash it has ruined gemini 2.5 pro model's reputation, now people think it's incapable of writing good code. | | |
| ▲ | PrayagS 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | True. In my experience, it has been good to use for second opinions and code reviews. Usually in CC/Codex via an MCP like zen. |

| ▲ | barrenko 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | it sucks. | | |
| ▲ | raincole 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | The opposite of my experience, but okay. | | |
| ▲ | barrenko 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'll give it another try, the gemini models themselves are great for me, tried the tool when it came out, didn't gel with it. |

| Im using Cursor with the $20 plan and hit rate limits after 15 days (so im paying extra the rest of the month). What do you recommend I do? |
| |
| ▲ | robotswantdata a day ago | parent [-] | | You could get two plus accounts? Or maybe a business account with two seats? The $200 pro feels good value personally. |

| Wait, what? They now allow claude code like subscription instead of the API too? |
| |
| ▲ | robotswantdata a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Yes for at least a month. Download the vscode extension and sign in with ChatGPT | |
| ▲ | Tiberium 21 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes, just do "codex login" and it'll use your ChatGPT subscription. | | |
