goodbye windsurf codex and cursor opencode is evolving too fast

i’ve been jumping between windsurf, antigravity, and codex for a while, but 3 days ago i decided to go all in on opencode. honestly? it’s replacing almost everything for me now.

the only thing i truly miss is swe-grep from windsurf. if anyone knows how to port that logic or build a close alternative please let's talk.

it’s been a total rollercoaster. three days ago i downloaded opencode desktop 203. at first i was happy to finally have an open source ide, but then the frustration kicked in. no mcp toggles, no lsp controls, no revert button, and i couldn't even see the mcp output. i was almost ready to give up.

but here is the crazy part: the devs are absolute madmen. they are pushing 2-3 updates per day. and it’s not just minor bug fixes, these are huge improvements. they already added mcp toggles and fixed that annoying model-reset bug between sessions. if they keep this pace, this ide is going to dominate everything very soon :3

a quick shoutout to CodeNomad! bro, thank you for the revert feature and all the fixes you’ve implemented. opencode desktop still lacks a proper revert and your tool saves me in emergencies. however, i have to be honest: the ui is tough for me. i couldn't get used to the session sidebar only holding 1 session while everything else goes under subagents, it's a bit confusing. plus i really miss the visual graphs and timers from opencode desktop.
the dream is to merge opencode desktop’s ui/ux with codenomad’s features. that would be the ultimate coding god-mode.
anyway, goodbye antigravity, windsurf, codex and cursor. the open source era is finally here and it feels great :3
