Aider has been great! Really looking forward to seeing a phind and even Gemini 1.5 plugin eventually. Def been a lovely improvement to my workflow. I've been keeping a close eye on Mentat as well but haven't yet tried it.

Only reason I pay for ChatGPT Plus is because they have an API and I'm building products off of their API. I use Phind more for work, but I'm not going to pay anything unless they have an API.

Oh I love Aider, it's really well done.
