Amid the fierce competition between well-known contenders such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and Amazon Q Developer, <a href="https://github.com/cline/cline">Cline</a> has been steadily growing its presence. Cline actually drew attention by taking a distinctly different path from other vibe coding tools. Being open source, it is not a tool people pick simply because it is free. Cline holds up robustly even on complex, large-scale projects. It is also one of the few vibe coding tools that supports BYOM (Bring Your Own Model), which matters in environments where data security and sovereignty constrain what tools can be used. Leading with these strengths, Cline quickly joined the ranks of mainstream vibe coding tools.</p>
