I'd much, much prefer Aide to continue as a CLI tool or as a VSCode plugin. Every fork of VSCode ends up with IDE maintenance bugs that never get addressed and slowly the effort implodes as the bug surface becomes too wide.

Do you want to spend 90% of your time on AI or troubleshooting odd Linux VSCode bugs in your fork? I'd highly recommend the team to evaluate a different direction for growth to maximize sustainable future growth.

Thats a fair point, a significant part of our 4 person team had to skill up on the VSCode codebase to be able to meaningfully make changes to it.

I would love to know your workflow, you mention CLI tool or VSCode plugin, which one of them work for you? Whats missing from them where Aide can fill in the gap

Plugin, which gives you access to the UI.

Make a plugin that interfaces with a CLI tool! Best of both worlds, I think!
