OpenCode is the almost good IDE I need.

What does well: helps context switching by using one window to control many repos with many worktrees each.

What can do better? It's putting AI too much in control? What if I want to edit a function myself in the workspace I'm working on? or select a snippet and refer that in the promp? without that I feel it's missing a non-negotiable feature.

Do you think the design direction of “chat first” is compatible with editor first? I don’t know if any tools do both well. Seems like a fork in the road, design wise.

I think we already need to flow back and forth in both modes. Because you steer from the chat more ambitious changes (zoom out) but then you need to still have the power to go full high res and zoom in in whatever you need.

From architecture to system programming smoothly. We need to nail that.
