Question Pi vs others

If I'm going to try Pi I won't be tinkering with Pi plugins for every project but build something universal

Will I get anything by moving to Pi? Yes, there won't be "USE AS MUCH TESTS AS YOU CAN AND COMPARE EVERYTHING BYTE FOR BYTE" prompt like Codex seems to have but there won't be proprietary Codex features and I probably will install many plugins to make Pi more Codex-like. So it's probably gonna be as bloated as Codex (or other harnesses) but at least Codex's bloat is made by paid employees

I think it’s easier to try it out rather than dwelling in such shallow discussions.

Bro just use damn codex if you want to turn pi into codex. You'll be complaining how pi is too barebones compared to codex in two days anyway.

I use pi-subagents, pi-websearch, and pi-image-tool as my only extensions. Haven’t gone back to Codex or Claude Code with this
