Is ra.aid just a fork of aider?

No it used to rely heavily on Aider and it kind of became obsolete. The agent reads/writes files directly now instead of having aider do it. Its a bit faster and lower token costs.

The great thing about RA.Aid is that it automatically iterates until the plan is fully complete. It also finds the files itself - aider doesn't really do that. I still do use aider for concise editing but RA.Aid is excellent for larger changes that require many iterations.

Maybe emphasize that more? In your example it just figures things out without iterating. How is this different/better than the Github copilot agnent mode: https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/github-copilo...
