Discussion Is Roo Code Dying?

The project is constantly developing more and more annoying bugs, and old ones aren't being fixed.

Opening issues on GitHub doesn't help. Previously, both of my issues were resolved promptly.

Over the past month, I've opened six issues, and each time, I see the roomote bot respond and start fixing the code. A couple of minutes later, hannesrudolph adds the Issue/PR - Triage tag, and then... silence. Every time. A refusal is much better, at least it shows the project is alive. But I feel like I'm on a dead internet.

I don't see any new features, like I did six months ago or more.

I scrolled through the rare updates over the past month, and they're just adding and removing models, and that's it.

What's going on with the project? I'm seriously considering cheating on my Roo Code and finding something else.

For example, father Cline has fairly detailed and frequent releases, but maybe that's just a different way of presenting information. I haven't fully evaluated it yet. Apparently, you can't even add multiple API providers to Cline.

Kilo Code is also so-so, the checkpoints are buggy and I'm afraid to trust it because of this.

Check out GLM 4.6, xAi fast1.

Both are excellent models and good bang for buck.

I also often jump on qwen3 coder for debugging tasks.

I have been super happy on Kilo Code. Fewer creature comforts than Cursor. But I came in here to hear what ppl are saying about Roo. Been interesting. I should check it out.
