Opencode vs Claude Code - six weeks in, here's where I actually land A teammate asked me last week which AI coding tool I'd recommend. I said "depends" and then spent five minutes rambling. Realized I didn't have a clear answer. So I wrote this down. Not a benchmark. Just what I noticed after using Claude Code for a couple months, then switching to opencode for the past six weeks. The thing everyone gets wrong about the comparison People frame this as "open source underdog vs polished commercial tool." That framing is off.
