Why would someone use this over aider?

Disclaimar: I haven't used aider in probably a year. I found Aider to require much more understanding to use properly. Claude code _just works_, more or less out of the box. Assuming the Gemini team took cues from CC—I'm guessing it's more user-friendly than Aider.

Again, I haven't used aider in a while so perhaps that's not the case.

Claude Code and OpenAI Codex and presumably this are much much more aggressive about generating work for themselves than Aider is.

For complicated changes Aider is much more likely to stop and need help, whereas Claude Code will just go and go and end up with something.

Whether that's worth the different economic model is up to you and your style and what you're working on.
