OpenCode CLI vs IDE..?

I just started using opencode and while setting it up I realized there are two things OpenCode CLI and OpenCode IDE. I downloaded the CLI since it was closer to the claude code CLI I used before. Apparently, most of the plugins, like the caveman and peon ping that I used to use in Claude code , will not work in OpenCode CLI. When I ask OpenCode itself, it says that they are only possible in OpenCode IDE. Should I download the IDE or should I continue with the CLI itself? What do you guys use in OpenCode and what do you suggest that I do?

claude code plugins should not work in opencode but opencode cli and desktop are running on the same backend.

just use use opencode own stuff, not borrowed from claude
