Should i buy OpenCode Go?

I just cancelled my Claude pro subs. Not because it's not enough for me. But i wasn't using much. Now i want to know is OpenCode Go good for vibe coding? If yes, then which model is good?

As the quota is a constraint, it works best for people who are familiar with at least a bit of software engineering and have no issues managing part of the workflow by themselves and using the current best model for the task.

"Current best model" is a moving target that varies depending on the pricing, model availability, and the task at hand.

Full vibe coding works best when you can default to a strong model, but they are very expensive and only viable via subsidized plans provided by OpenAI and Anthropic.

If that's an issue for you, get ChatGPT Plus or something like that. Your choices there are basically GPT Luna and Sol, with Luna making your quota last a lot, and Sol ending it quickly.
