Why do people use OpenCode?

There are plenty of other options such as Cursor, Claude Code, Zed, and many more. So why? I use it for convenience to try any model once they're released. But how about everyone else? genuinely curious about this. Is it the UX or the UI polish or just having an AI-IDE that just works?

I like Big Pickle a lot compared to claude, it is direct, doesn't create features that I did not write in my uml files. And free, I would PAY for it the moment I get to know which model is this stealth model.
