There are many (ignored) requests, to, like cursor, copilot and cline, automatically pick the files without having to specify them. Not having that makes it much worse than those others. I was a fan before the others but having to add your files is not a thing anymore.

Hmm, I want to add my own files. This is because in my workflow I often turn to the web UI in order to get a fresh context.

I do like the idea of letting the model ask for source code.

It’s all about attention / context.

But one does not exclude the other; some like one some like the other. I am used to Cline now and it's pretty good at picking the correct files, however, I get better results out of aider once the files are in.
