I use opencode, have seen Claude but never used it. What are some examples of things opencode does that Claude doesn't?
The sidebar, in its entirety. Snapshotting/undo-that-also-undoes-filesystem-ops. Web interface. Easy model-swapping and provider selection. Workspaces (can be achieved with Claude Code and git worktrees).
There are probably more but I'm on mobile and can't think of them off hand.
Interesting! I've seen the sidebar but not thought of much advantage from it. I'll take another look. Model/provider change is a breeze, I just assumed Claude would do the same but maybe they want to make it harder to leave their models? Workspaces? Sounds interesting - gotta check it out.
I just discovered how easy it is to view/switch sessions in opencode.
