   I use it to build some side-projects, mostly apps for mobile devices. It is really good with Swift for some reason. I also use it to start off MVP projects that involve both frontend and API development but you have to be super verbose, unl

   Cline + RooCode and VSCode already works really well with local models like qwen3-coder or even the latest gpt-oss. It is not as plug-and-play as Claude but it gets you to a point where you only have to do the last 5% of the work
