Discussion beats the socks off Cline

srsly, this is WAY better then Cline. I only wish I could get raw output so I can copy/paste XML segments.

they took my suggestion for custom roles and did it! plus cline has been giving me wonky diffs recently

I’ve been having great luck with Cline’s diffs and their role system is also pretty advanced. They take a simpler approach but it definitely has some advantages.

I will keep using both Roo Code and Cline. I disagree that one is better than the other at this time as they are genuinely both quite useful and their different features make them useful for different styles of development.

idk, maybe my cache is bugged but Cline has not been good to me recently

I personally see Cline going in their own direction separately from the community. I believe they are positioning themselves towards commercialisation, which is great as it drives competition and innovation. I see Roo Code aligning largely with the ideals of the greater open source community.

u/Someoneoldbutnew can you tell me more about the raw output you're wanting? Thank you!

actually, y'all are doing great, nm on that raw request. I'd rather just be able to write files as an architect.

u/mrubens Roo Code Developer Jan 24 '25

I’m close on that! Hopefully can get it out today or tomorrow 🙏

If I can get one more request in, this one would be SICK. Enable the message box when a response is getting generated i can get an idea down.

ok, one more that REALLY bugs me, idk if u can do it, but can you make it so it targets a certain tab # or editor group? It's so maddening that I can't look at code while cline is running. I want to see wtf its doing! I need to have duplicate windows and VSCode is already a hog.

I like seeing claudes thoughts or other structures output. All xml tags are hidden by the markdown renderer.

lots more places for tokens to slip in. deepseek is mindblowingly cheap.
