I've been using codecompanion.nvim[0] combined with mcp-hub.nvim[1]. Code Companion works well for interactive chat but falls short for agentic coding. It's limited to some pre-configured and user-defined "workflows" which are basically templated steps with prompts, actions, and loops. I've been meaning to give avante.nvim[2] a try since it aims to provide a "Cursor like" experience, but for now I've been alternating between Code Companion for simple prompts and Claude CLI (in a tmux pane next to Neovim) for agentic stuff.

In GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding
I’m a solo founder/developer (https://kayshun.co) my relationship/usage of LLMs for codegen has been complicated. At first I was all in with Copilot and various similar plugins for neovim. It helped me get going but did produce the worst code in the application. Also I found (personal preference) that the autocomplete function actually slowed me down; it made me pause or even prevented me from seeing what I was doing rather than just typing out what I needed to. I stopped using any codegen for about four months at the end of 2024; I felt it was not making me more productive. This year it’s back on the table with avante[0] and cursor (the latter back off the table due to the huge memory requirements). Then recently Claude Code dropped and I am currently feeling like I have productivity super powers. I’ve set it up in a pair programming sty
Read the rest
le (old XP coder) where I write careful specs (prompts) and tests (which I code); it writes code; I review run the tests and commit. I work with it. I do not just let it just run as I have found I waste more time unwinding its output than watching each step. From being pretty disillusioned six months ago I can now see it as a powerful tool. Can it replace devs? In my opinion, some. Like all things it’s garbage in garbage out. So the idea a non-technical product manager can produce quality outputs seems unlikely to me. 0: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim
In How much are LLMs boosting real-world programmer productivity?
I actively use Avante.nvim: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim Why I like Avante over others? 1. Active development. @Yetone, the creator, is very transparent and active. 2. Supports almost all the models. Add your API key for whatever you want to use. 3. The prompts are very well optimised. Plus the team keeps improving them. 4. The code `diffs` very well handled. It is easy to `apply` changes. 5. Support for `@file` feature (select multiple files) has made it 5x more powerful. 6. Very transparent. We can see what we are doing. Very less "magic". 7. It runs on demand: no auto-suggestion magic.
