With aider and Gemini Pro 2.5 at least I constantly have to fight against it to keep it focused on a small task. It keeps editing other parts of the file, doing small "improvements" and "optimizations" and commenting here and there. To the point where I'm considering switching to a graphical IDE where the interface would make it easier to accept or dismiss parts of changes (per lines/blocks, as opposed to a per file and per commit approach with aider).

Would you mind sharing more about your workflow with aider? Have you tried the `--watch-files` option? [0] What makes the architect mode [1] way better in your experience?
