I use Roo Code. I love it. Are Cursor or Copilot or any of the other "front ends" so much better? I guess it's up to me to find out but wonder what others have found. [edit: grammar]
Another user of Roo Code here, I really like that I could hook it up to either OpenRouter or Anthropic/Google directly, for different use cases - for the most part I enjoy using Claude, but when their rate limits hit (e.g. when I needed to shuffle around ~100k tokens for a specific use case) then Gemini was also good enough!
Plus, it's a plugin for VSC, so I don't need an entirely new editor, which I think makes a lot of sense when you don't want to overhaul UI but just add a few features here and there (autocomplete, chat, ability to edit files and some UI for agentic work with checkpoints along the way etc.).
I'm actually not sure why Roo/Cline aren't way more popular, rather than Cursor etc.
