    "Amazing tool"

    Posted 2025-08-15

    Pros: Tons of features and new updates coming near daily. There is a large community in Discord and a ton of information available.

    Cons: It can be a bit clunky when you have to use the VS code API rather than adding a direct API key to something like OpenRouter. I'm sure that has a lot to do with limitations in the VSC API.

    Overall: Previously known as Roo Cline, this tool has evolved as quickly as AI itself is evolving. It is much simpler than using e.g. copilot agents, where you have to specify files for it to look at. Roo can index all your code and search it all to find the points it needs to update. The way it multiplies my ability is incredible.
