Aider is in a sad state. The maintainer does not "maintain" for quite some time now (look at the open PRs and issues). It's not state of the art definitely but one of the first and best ones in the past. A fork was created, Aider CE, from some members of the Discord community https://github.com/dwash96/aider-ce The fork looks and works promising but there is (sadly) so much more development in the other AI CLI tools nowadays.
Agreed. Alternatives seem too "agentic" for me, where Aider strikes the right balance of AI pair programming.
I came to the same conclusion. It's crickets over there: https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/graphs/contributors
