Why People Use It
<h3>Why People Use It</h3>
<p>Aider meets developers where they already work — in the terminal and IDE — rather than forcing them into a separate AI chat interface. Its codebase mapping understands large projects, its git integration makes every AI change reviewable and reversible, and its support for voice input makes it one of the most ergonomic AI coding assistants available. Being open source and free removes all adoption barriers.</p>
