  Aider is really cool for small projects, but it builds a repo map instead of using RAG. That works on small codebases, but totally fails to be useful on large ones.

    How large? In use, treesitter-derived approach seems far effective than rag.

      >5k source files. They don't fit into the context. I know I can limit what is sent, and I can attach files in the Aider chat myself. But this is not perfect for making an LLM answer questions about a codebase when I don't know much context beforehand. With Cursor, I can just do "@codebase How is a %feature% implemented?", and it's very quick and often helpful with a couple of follow-ups.
