I Use Cline for AI Engineering


An assessment after evaluating the landscape

After extensively testing the major players (Cursor, WindSurf, GitHub Copilot, and others), I've found Cline- a free VSCode plugin- to be uniquely valuable for serious engineering work. RooCode emphasizes role-based prompts and specialized workflows, while Cline maintains its vision of being a capable generalist that can handle any task without requiring explicit role selection. Cline's approach focuses on reducing prompt fatigue and making interactions more natural, with upcoming features aimed at further simplifying how developers communicate their intentions to the AI assistant.
