I thought that, too, but lately I've been using OpenCode with Claude Opus, rather than Claude Code, and have been loving it.

OpenCode has LSPs out of the box (coming to Claude Code, but not there yet), has a more extensive UI (e.g. sidebar showing pending todos), allows me to switch models mid-chat, has a desktop app (Electron-type wrapper, sure, but nevertheless, desktop; and it syncs with the TUI/web versions so you can use both at the same time), and so on.

So far I like it better, so for me that moat isn't that. The technical moat is still the superiority of the model, and others are bound to catch up there. Gemini 3 Preview is already doing better at some tasks (but frequently goes insane, sadly).

Does OpenCode work with their subscription Max plan or is it API pricing only?

Wasn't this released a couple of weeks ago?
