What's the Gemini equivalent of Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex? I've found projects like reugn/gemini-cli, but Gemini Code Assist seems limited to VS Code?

There's Aider, Plandex and Goose, all of which let you chose various providers and models. Aider also has a well known benchmark[0] that you can check out to help select models.

I've only user aider (which I like quite a bit more than cursor) but I'm curious how it compares to plandex and goose.

Hi, creator of Plandex here. In case it's helpful, I posted a comment listing some of the main differences with aider here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43728977

I think the differences between Aider / Plandex are more obvious. However I'd love to see a comparison breakdown between Plandex and Goose which seem to occupy a very similar space.

I would also like to know — I think people are using Cursor/Windsurf/Roo(Cline) for IDEs that let you pick the model, but I don't know of a CLI agentic editor that lets you use arbitrary models.

Thanks! Any others, or any thoughts you can share on it?

Hey, I'm the creator of Plandex (https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex), which takes a more agentic approach than aider, and combines models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. You might find it interesting.

I did a Show HN for it a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43710576

Junie from Jetbrains was recently released. Not sure what LLM is uses.
