“The agent I trust because it asks first”

Used daily for 6–12 months

I contract on client codebases where an unreviewed change is a real problem. Cline proposes each edit and waits. That single design decision is why it is the only agent I will point at client work — I have never had to explain an unexpected commit.

Pros

Nothing happens without approval. Cost per task is visible while you work. I can use the model the client already has a contract for.

Cons

No autocomplete, so I still keep Copilot running alongside it.

Problems it solves

Let me use an agent on client code without a trust problem.

“Watch the spend, it is not a flat fee”

Used weekly for 6–12 months

Excellent tool, and I want to be clear about the trade you are making. A long refactoring session with a frontier model cost me $14 in an afternoon. Cheaper than my time, more than a Cursor subscription. Set a cap on your provider account before you start.

Pros

Genuinely capable, completely free of licence cost, model choice is yours.

Cons

Usage costs are unbounded by default. Plan mode on a cheap model helps but you have to remember to use it.
