OpenCode vs. Codex vs. Claude Code: What Are You Using in the Terminal?

I’m curious how people are using AI for coding in the terminal—and which tools are actually working well for them.

I’ve been trying OpenCode with free models so far, and I’ve had a really good experience: it’s responsive and has worked without any problems. Now I’d like to compare it with Codex and Claude Code.

If you use AI coding tools in the terminal, I’d love to hear about your experience:

I’m especially interested in real-world comparisons: which tool gets you to a strong result with the least friction, and why?

Share your setup or a specific example if you can. I’d love to learn what’s working for you!
