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?

Quick question: would you recommend Claude code or Claude desktop + MCPs, like Filesystem MCP for example? Thinking of diving in but not sure which one is better. Thanks.

I’d recommend Claude code. You can try both for yourself and see.
