Does Aider plus it's Composer basically work the same or better then Cursor?

Hello,

I've exclusively used Cursor while learning to build a project last few months.

I'm starting to have alot of problems with cursor and end up spending hours going in circles because the engines don't seem to work well anymore.

I keep hearing about Aider but that you use it within the terminal which I don't completely understand because I've only used Cursor so far to code modular parts of my project.

However I was seeing now Aider has a composer extension now as well and was reading online it works better then Cursor

Can anyone provide insight into this?

I guess I'm basically trying to set this up via vs code and having some trouble

Is it worth the switch and work basically as good if not better the Cursor?

Thanks
