> P.S. I maintain a VS Code extension that does the 4 steps above as a baseline[1]

Still needs an IDE!

Why should I use kilo instead of aider?

1. Kilo Code works inside VS Code. Aider works inside the terminal.

2. Kilo is a feature-merge of Roo+Cline+our own features. This means at least 20 new features are added weekly.


Aider works inside any IDE.

And there are plugins for many IDEs.

The whole point of my comment is someone (ridiculously) implying you don't need to change IDEs with kilo when kilo is clearly tied to an IDE!


The answer clearly is, because you are already using VS Code. If you're not.. well then use aider.
