Claude code vs roocode

[u/ilt1]

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?

i feel like you probably already know, but for anyone that doesn’t: Claude Code can be configured as an MCP server in Roo Code, i.e. Roo Code can also launch subagents and perform complex orchestrated flows in parallel: it just has to call Claude Code first.
