What does Claude-Code do different that you still prefer it? I'm so in love with OpenCode, I just can't go back. It's such a nicer way of working. I even love the more advanced TUI

Claude Code's handling of multiple choice questions is awfully nice (it uses an interactive interface to let you use arrows to select answers, and supports multiple answers). I haven't seen opencode do that yet, although I don't know if that's just a model integration issue -- I've only tried with GLM 4.7, GPT 5.1 Codex Mini, and GPT 5.2 Codex.

Opencode also has that feature, I've seen it multiple times in the last days (mostly using Opus 4.5/4.6/Gemini 3)

Indeed, Opencode has it too. They've been improving it the past few weeks to look more like the one in Claude-Code. I disable it all the time though, I find it such a pain (in both Claude-Code and OpenCode)

Interesting. I wonder if it's just a matter of prompting properly or if GPT/GLM just doesn't have that training.

Are you paying per-token after Anthropic closed the loophole on letting you log in to OpenCode?

If one has a github sub, you can use OpenCode -> github -> \A models. It's not 100% (the context window I think is smaller, and they can be behind on the model version updates), but it's another way to get to \A models and not use CC.

Yup, the context window there is only half of what you get in CC so only a weak alternative. They burned bridges with the dev community by their decision to block any other clients

When did they successfully close the loophole? I know they tried a few times, but even the last attempt from a week or two ago was circumvented rather easily.

Oh, sounds like I'm just out of the loop then. I had an Opencode install that I was planning to check out, and then like, the next day there was the announcement from a week or two ago, so I just kinda shrugged and forgot about it.

OpenCode would be nicer if they used normal terminal scrolling and not their own thing :(

It's a client/server architecture with an Open API spec at the boundary. You can tear off either side, put a proxy in the middle, whatever. Few hundred lines of diff weaponizes it.

Terminal scrolling opens a big can of worms for them, I doubt they'll ever implement it. The best you can do is enable scrollbars in opencode so you can quickly jump places.

we are going to implement this

lmao

I haven't tried it myself but there was a plenty of people in the other thread complaining that even on the Max subscription they couldn't use OpenCode.

oh-my-pi plug https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi

i don't get this. isn't it contradictory to the philosophy of pi to start as slick as possible?

I've liked opencode+glm5 quite a bit so far.
