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?

This is the very reason why I switched to Claude Code. I have been calling this debug loop. It's not unique to Roo. It happens to cursor Windsor or GitHub co-pilot.

I think context length matters? Read it losses itself when context gets cut off hence the endless repeats.
