Do Cursor and co have better tools than the ones we write ourselves for lower-level interfaces like gptel? Or do they work better because they add post-processing layers that verify the state of the repo after the tool call?
Cursor is proprietary, but is known to index code for doing queries etc.
Cline is closer in spirit to GPTel, but since CLINE is an actual business, it does seem to do well off the bat. That said, I haven't found it to be "hugely better" compared to whatever you can hack in GPTel.
Quite frankly being able to hack the tools on the go in Elisp, makes GPTel far far better (for some of us anyway).
(Thanks for creating GPTel BTW!)
