Cline is a great alternative to Cursor if you are not willing to switch over to another (forked) editor.<p>However, it's baffling to me that by default Cline ignores `pkg/` folder that is common in Go projects. Check this issue - <a href="https://github.com/cline/cline/issues/927">https://github.com/cline/cline/issues/927</a><p>I think Aider, Cline and Cursor are not far from each other in their capabilities.<p>Cursor was probably the most polished experience - especially their `Tab` autocomplete. However, I found this effect really interesting. Let's say 7 out of 10 times it's seamless, but there's uncanny valley of autocomplete in 3 out of 10 times - where you expect it to the right thing, but it either predicts wrong or takes a tad too long, 'breaking the immersion', if you will.<p>Cline does the job really well if you're in VSCode.
Aider is great if you prefer terminal based workflow, or do not want to commit to another editor. Another great thing in Aider is `//AI!` comment. You can start Aider in --watch-files mode and it will watch for instructions, and start executing them. This way I can work in my preferred editor and have a tool in the background performing AI tasks.<p>A slight edge in my case goes to Aider for this reason, despite the fact that it does not feel quite as polished as the other two.
