Aider is the single best tool I’ve tried. And I’d never heard of it until like 2 weeks ago when someone mentioned it here. I love aider.

The irony is, it's sort of a household name on HN for over a year now, being way ahead of what was available commercially on the market - and yet, it seems most people here haven't heard of it.
(The author used to post a lot of insightful comments here about LLMs and other generative models, too.)
The same is true of my own gptme, which has been pretty much at parity with Aider along the way.
Paul (Aider author) is a lot better at writing useful stuff than me though! (like the amazing blog posts)
Thanks for mentioning this, because I somehow managed to miss gptme all that time! I'll check it out now.

Can you clarify what you mean? If "most people here haven't heard of it" then it's probably not a household name.
