I have not tried Claude Code, but besides the model lock-in the number one complaint I have heard is that it consistently over provides context leading to high token usage.


I don't care about model lock-in as long it actually gets the job done. Claude Code is the only AI solution I've tried that can actually make deep, meaningful changes across frontend and backend on a mature enterprise codebase.


I would put Cline in the same level of tools, with the added benefit of deep VSCode integration.
