alt Hacker NewsAfter reading this opinion ten times today. Can someone explain to me why OpenCode is a “better harness”? Or is it just because it’s open source that people support it?

All these harnesses are free and grateful for any use they get. It might be worthwhile to try it and see.

It's mostly based on feelings/"vibes", and hugely dependent on the workflow you use. I'm so happy with Claude Code, Opus and plan mode that I don't feel any need to check the others.

OpenCode has some more advanced features and plays nicely in more advanced setups. ClaudeCode isn't bad at all, but OpenCode has some tricks up it's sleeve.

No matter what the answer to the question is.. IMO "just" is out of place here. Being free/open source software is a big deal, particularly for a developer tool.
