From what I’ve seen so far, Claude Code seems to have the best overall reviews in terms of quality and performance. The main downside for me is that it’s locked behind a company and not open source (I know about the leak, but I’m more interested in something officially open and actively maintained). Codex, on the other hand, looks really appealing because it’s open source and allows for forks, which gives it a lot more flexibility and long-term potential. Then there’s OpenCode, probably the most interesting of the three. It has a huge community and a lot of momentum, but I’m not sure if it’s actually on par with the others in real-world use. Curious to hear your thoughts, how do these compare in practice? Is OpenCode actually competitive, or is it more hype than substance? Oh and by Claude i’m referring to the open sourced forks that are comming, which we don’t know if will be updated or etc, not using the proprietary one ever submitted by /u/idkwtftbhmeh
