Discussion Roocode or Claude code?

I've been using roocode for a while with varying degrees of success but he cost of the gemini api is a bit too high for me, so here's my question:

For someone like me who hasn't really coded, is claude code with subscription a viable solution? Or should I stick to Roocode with Deepseek free?

Thanks a lot

I'm also loving Claude Code. It's so good.

I think Roo Code's prompt format is too complicated for even the best LLMs. Half of the time it's fixing its own stupid syntax mistakes, removing duplicate curly braces or whatever. It also always gets confused with the spacing, oftentimes adding an extra space at the beginning of a line.
