What's Good
Cline is the VS Code extension for developers who want AI assistance with explicit control. Every file edit, every shell command, every action requires your approval. This makes it the safest option for production code—no surprise changes, no autonomous execution you did not sanction.
The Catch
Human-in-the-loop means constant interruptions. Large tasks require many approvals. The pace is slower than autonomous alternatives.
Verdict
Maximum control for developers who approve everything.
