Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source alternative to Claude Code. Model-agnostic, configurable, and the git integration is solid. Perfect if you want control over your tools.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“Free, open-source, and surprisingly capable. The trade-off vs Cursor/Claude Code is polish — it works but requires more setup and CLI comfort.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“Aider proves that AI coding doesn't need to be locked into a proprietary IDE. The model-agnostic approach means it gets better as every LLM improves.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
