// EDITOR'S TAKE
OpenHands is the closest structural match, running sandboxed autonomous agents you can point at a whole task rather than a single file. opencode and Aider are sharper day to day if you live in the terminal and want to approve every diff, while Cline keeps the agent inside your editor where review is easier.
