The difficulty editing H.265 is going away as newer PC's with CPU and/or GPU's with native support for H.265 go mainstream. I have a high end home built PC that's 2.7 years old now but I edit H.265 all the time. I do not uses proxies -- if I were going to I'd shoot in H.264 and avoid the need. What I do is build the timeline and edit/cut the scenes without effects or color grading -- just the raw footage. Then, when I have the scenes the way I like I'll adjust contrast, sharpen, etc to get the footage to look the way I want. Lastly, I add or modify the audio. Doing it this way makes it easier on the PC.
Again, this problem will pretty much go away as more capable CPU's and GPU's arrive with native H.265 support -- there are some CPU's and GPU's that already do but they're pretty pricey at the moment.
