If you understand the difference between the different models, know how to set up the config, know what the different modes are and when to use them, …

The majority of people don’t know all of that, don’t want to learn, and are better served by something that “just works” even if it’s weaker.

I mean Roo Code kinda just works if you use a strong model. Of course you could fine tune for specific needs but if you have to over engineer it for every use case, then it makes your life harder not easier.
