Comment on How Cline Quietly Changed The Game For Code Copilots

Comments

I wish the discussion on differences between the agentic workflow in copilot and cursor were clearer. As is presented, copilot's workflow is described as "request changes via chat, then approve/reject", and cline's workflow is described as "requesting changes via chat, which can be approved/rejected".

Similarly, "this tool succeeds where this other tool fails" can always be made more specific. Both a novice who doesn't know the basics, and an expert who's trying something sophisticated, can both report "this tool works where this other tool failed".. a thoughtful description of the difference is going to help. (e.g. to me, "used AI to find codebase's LoC" indicates 'novice').
