You're welcome, thanks for watching! I find Windsurf with Cascade and Cursor with Composer easier to use and better at managing context. Aider does pull files into context well but requires more effort to ensure the right ones are available. The main advantage of Aider is its flexibility. For my project, I use about 50% Deepseek V3 with Aider and 50% Sonnet with Composer, depending on the task.
Great video, very useful breakdown 🙂
Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you found it useful.
Thank you so much!
YW! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video! How do you feel about aider, compared to windsurf, in terms of effort required and reliability (when using sonnet with aider)?
