In terms of output, it's comparable. In terms of workflow, it suits my needs a lot more as a VIM terminal user.

I started out using VSCode with their Claude plugin; it seemed like a totally unnecessary integration. A better workflow seems to just run Claude Code directly on my machine where there are fewer restrictions - it just opens a lot more possibilities on what it can do

Aren’t those in-editor tools? Opencode is a CLI

Ok I get it now, same with the vim comment above, it seems VSCode has the more IDE setup while OpenCode is giving the vim nerdtree vibe? I'll have to take a look, it makes sense to possibly have both for different use cases I guess.

No that’s not it. Opencode is a pure terminal app, your interaction is by typing prompts and slash commands. You can also script prompts to it.

There are probably IDE plugins that feed prompts or context in based on your interaction with the editor.
