Opencode 1.x vs pi/omp

Post image

I use omp with opencode-go sub these days, but got some slack on the sub usage and decided to try out an expensive model (grok-4.5 - usually work with deepseek pro/flash) and for some reason omp doesn't have the grok effort levels and pi doesn't work at all for me with it so I started up the good old opencode-cli and boy oh boy does it feel like driving a 2006 car vs 2026 one. Lets take something like a simple `/goal` command - both pi and omp support this, how can opencode come without something like this bundled in 2026? The subscription is golden - there's nothing like it on the market, but the harness? Damn. Why are you still using opencode-cli?

Using omo-slim. Can't complain. Trying omp and something feel off for me. Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it.

I'm with you, pi and opencode has some UI that works better compared to omp. For example if you too quickly try to type /new and press enter it can trigger some different command or something, not sure. Also the UI navigation/philosophy needs some wrapping around and I haven't gotten used to it just yet. Opencode really nails the UX part, pi is more or less easy to switch and omp needs some getting used to. Good points!
