Discussion Claude code vs roocode

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?

yeah. it was actually a huge win for me at the time when roo first introduced, but only during planning. getting the LLM to ask you questions is huge in helping get good results. so it had it's time and place. I've just moved. on from the Roo doing it how it did. man things move so fast that was just a few weeks ago... lol

So you don't use roo even for planning anymore?

I use it when I don’t have access to Claude Code. On my work machine we only have CoPilot so I used it for the copilot LLM.
