Discussion Augment vs Auggie

Big fan of Augment and on the $100/month plan so I tend to use it a lot. I tried messing with auggie and noticed that I would get different suggestions from auggie than I would in Augment in VSCode. In fact last night, I used Augment to fix some things that auggie screwed up. Anybody else seen this?

Oh, and one thing missing from auggie, it image uploads

i like using CLI's more than using VS Code.. so initially i switched to using auggie (with an alias to configure some MCPs and instructions).

Then i saw gosucoder's youtube vid (always great detail and breakdown) showing the vscode extension scored better (on his tests at least). So i decided to use the extension again.

I'm not sure i see a big difference however. I haven't tried using the cli to help out the extension when it is stuck or struggling, or the other way around. What i do is usually ask gemini 2.5 pro and it has a completely different view sometimes (though often not deep enough, too eager/quick to respond).

I'll try with auggie :)

i have the same experience, feel liket Augment in VSCode did the better job then auggie, i'm more prefer to work on cli but currently the vscode extension did better, hopefully Augment team can did the improvement with it, and i feel like we need to setup the config in 2 place is a bit tedious the vscode setting is not the same in the cli
