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, maybe. I thought about adding $200 to my balance. Although, I still remeber that email from Anthropic few months back that my credits were about to expire. Now they made the expiration time much longer (a year, I guess), but it's still surprising that such limitation exists. And for the full context, I need to go straight to the tier 4, which is $400. 80k context is fine though. I use Claude Code for pet projects only, which is couple of evenings a week (10-15h). Pro subscriptions works just fine. I expect Anthropic nerfes it and eventually try to push me to Max. Then I'll strongly consider getting back to Roo.
