Is Claude "Code" anything special,or it's mostly the LLM and other CLIs (e.g. Copilot) also work?

I've tried most of the CLI coding tools with the Claude models and I keep coming back to Claude Code. It hits a sweet spot of simple and capable, and right now I'd say it's the best from an "it just works" perspective.

In my experience the CLI tool is part of the secret sauce. I haven't tried switching models per each CLI tool though. I use claude exclusively at work and for personal projects I use claude, codex, gemini.

It’s mostly the model, Copilot, Claude Code, OpenCode, snake oil like Oh My OpenCode, it’s not huge differences.
