I will also stick with JetBrains and am impressed by aider! I'm using this plugin to integrate aider into IntelliJ: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/25249-coding-aider Still in progress but already pretty useful

Wow! Thank you for calling out that plugin, I hadn't see it. It is very useful and I love the better integration. I feel like with just a little more QoL stuff this plugin will be amazing. I am getting a weird hang after Aider "completes", the dialog hangs and takes 20-30 sec before the IDE becomes usable again.

Features I'd love:

* Reproduce the web/browser chat UI in the IDE, this is an easy concept to interact with vs a dialog that goes away after each run

* Provide tabs for multiple chats (each chat can have different files/history/etc)

* Allow multiple Aider processes running at the same time

But this is still super slick as-is, thank you!
