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!)

(I should know since I've created half-a-dozen tools for this with gptel. Cline hasn't been any better on my codebase.)
