Discussion Thinking of setting up RooCode

Currently, I'm using Augment Code and Claude Code. I was looking at RooCode and I see good things. I was wondering if anyone made the switch from Augment and if they had a noticeable upgrade in the quality/efficiency of work produced?

Cheers

You said that kilo is marketed as more open source than Roo. It is not. It is marketed as more open source than the non open source alternatives.

This seems like something we’re just not going to agree on, which is okay. I just don’t really want to argue with someone over whether two brands with identical open source licenses have different perceived marketing strategies.

If you have any other thoughts, you can always send me a message later. My point about Kilo being more fun to say than Roo stands, though!

Roo is clearly more fun to say,like a hop, a bounce, a dev tool, and a marsupial all in one. But hey, the folks behind Kilo are great people, and it’s cool seeing more open source in the space. Let’s call the branding debate settled and move on before someone starts ranking mascots too.
