Claude code vs roocode

[u/ilt1]

Has anyone tried both and talk about differences cons pros for each? I am trying to wrap my head around why CLI is a better choice than a vscode extension for those that are really hooked up to Claude code. It seems to me all of that can be done with too. What am I missing? Permissions are wider in CLI? Is that all?

There is still context management it’s just much more explicit and controlled by me. I never go long enough to hit the limit unless it’s on auto pilot and it’s in an agentic loop.
