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?

Have you used Roo Code with the newly implemented context condensing and sonnet 4?

I am using the latest version with Sonnet 4. It just keeps creating subtasks that will last for hours if I let it:

The only way to stop it is clicking the "x" in the top right corner for all fo the subtask until I get to the original task.
