+### Aidermacs vs Aider CLI vs aider.el?
+
+Aidermacs is designed to provide a more Emacs-native experience while 
integrating with [Aider CLI](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider). It began 
as a fork of `aider.el`, but has since diverged significantly to prioritize 
Emacs workflow integration, built by Emacser, for Emacser.
+
+While aider.el tries to mirror Aider's CLI behavior, Aidermacs is built around 
Emacs-specific features and paradigms. This design philosophy allows you to 
harness Aider's powerful capabilities through a natural, Emacs-native coding 
experience.
+
+With Aidermacs, you get:
+
+1. Built-in Ediff Integration for AI-Generated Changes
+   - Seamless Code Review: Automatically shows diffs for all AI-modified files 
using Emacs' powerful `ediff` interface
+   - Familiar Interface: Uses Emacs' native `ediff` workflow for reviewing 
changes
+   - Interactive Workflow: Accept or reject changes with standard `ediff` 
commands
+   - Syntax Highlighting: Maintains proper syntax highlighting during 
comparisons
+   - Safe Change Management: Preserves original file states for easy 
comparison and rollback
+
+2. Intelligent Model Selection
+   - Automatic discovery of available models from multiple providers
+   - Real-time model compatibility checking
+   - Seamless integration with your configured API keys
+   - Caching for quick access to frequently used models
+   - Support for both popular pre-configured models and dynamically discovered 
ones
+
+3. Flexible Terminal Backend Support
+   - Aidermacs supports multiple terminal backends (comint and vterm) for 
better compatibility and performance
+   - Easy configuration to choose your preferred terminal emulation
+   - Extensible architecture for adding new backends
+
+4. Smarter Syntax Highlighting
+   - AI-generated code appears with proper syntax highlighting in major 
languages.
+   - Ensures clarity and readability without additional configuration.
+
+5. Better Support for Multiline Input
+   - Aider is designed as a CLI program, where multiline input is restricted 
by terminal limitations.
+   - Terminal-based tools require special syntax or manual formatting to 
handle multiline input, which can be cumbersome and unintuitive.
+   - Aidermacs eliminates these restrictions by handling multiline prompts 
natively within Emacs, allowing you to compose complex AI requests just like 
any other text input.
+   - Whether you're pasting blocks of code or refining AI-generated responses, 
multiline interactions in Aidermacs feel natural and seamless.
+
+6. Enhanced File Management from Emacs
+   - List files currently in chat with `M-x aidermacs-list-added-files`
+   - Drop specific files from chat with `M-x aidermacs-drop-file`
+   - View output history with `M-x aidermacs-show-output-history`
+   - Interactively select files to add with `M-x 
aidermacs-add-files-interactively`
+   - Add content from any file to a specific session with `M-x 
aidermacs-add-file-to-session`
+   - Create a temporary file for adding code snippets or notes to the Aider 
session with `M-x aidermacs-create-session-scratchpad`
+   - Full support for remote files via Tramp (SSH, Docker, etc.)
+   - and more
+
+7. Greater Configurability
+   - Aidermacs offers more customization options to tailor the experience to 
your preferences.
+
+8. Streamlined Transient Menu Selection
+   - The transient menus have been completely redesigned to encompass 
functionality and ergonomics, prioritizing user experience.
+
+9. Flexible Ways to Add Content
+   - Aidermacs provides multiple ways to add content to the Aider session, 
including adding files, creating temporary scratchpad files, and more.
+
+10. Community-Driven Development
+    - Aidermacs is actively developed and maintained by the community, 
incorporating user feedback and contributions.
+    - We prioritize features and improvements that directly benefit Emacs 
users, ensuring a tool that evolves with your needs.
+
+... and more to come 🚀
