This reminds me of the workflow I had a year ago. Miss Aider so much. Are there any good open source agents right now? Might be a good time to try one soon as Fable switches to token-based billing, which Code is designed to maximize.

Aider is still active. The new lighweight darling is pi. Complete batteries included solution, opencode. Turbocharge all of these and work on multiple harnesses at once, allowing every model to talk etc. Paseo. (Best mobile client too)
I still work like this, using Aider. What do you mean when you say you “miss” it? (Why not just keep using it?)
Around last fall it started chronically lagging in SOTA models support. Honestly, not sure why a code update is even needed for that. Eventually it'd get patched but it just wasn't quick enough for me. Other development seems to have ceased completely. At one point I tried to investigate what's going on and it looked like the community had moved on. There was a fork that promised a liberal approach to accepting changes and it looked broken beyond repair because of that.
