So what are the differences between this one, Claude Code and Gemini CLI?
Claude Code uses Claude, Gemini CLI uses Gemini, and this one can be configured to use any model you want.

#152Is this the company that did shady things by buying an open source repo and kicking out the contributors? Something to do with OpenCode or SST or something idk. Could be a different company ?

#153Earlier quoted context omitted.
But only a few models can actually execute commands effectively.. what is it, Claude and Gemini? Did I miss any?
kiwi k2, Qwen3-Coder
Qwen3 issued such stupid commands I wouldn't count it in the same universe as Claude or Gem. I still need to test out Kimi, though- Cheers!

#154How to handle an OSS dispute where you're the baddy: rebrand and hope nobody notices.
Let's not forget they're the company that bought an OSS project, OpenCode, and tried to "steal" it

#155Other than switching LLMs, if I'm already mostly using Claude, any reason to use this over CC?
One problem with these agents is that the tokens don't count for your Claude Max subscription. (Same reason I use CC instead of Zed's AI agent.)

Mice are good and the terminal doesn't make the best use of the information density possible on modern displays.
Modern terminal emulators run at native resolution and support window splitting. You can have the exact same information density (I'd argue that a nice neovim environment has more information density than most IDEs since vs code and jetbrains seem to love putting extra space and padding everywhere now.)
Terminal emulators can only do exactly that. Emulate increasingly large terminals. They are almost fundamentally unable to render something smaller than a single character.

> I find it strange how most of these terminal-based AI coding agents have ended up with these attempts at making text UIs flashy. Its next gen script kids.
If true, GOOD. I 100% unironically believe we're better off more script kiddies today, not fewer.
Out of curiosity, why is that?

#158So what are the differences between this one, Claude Code and Gemini CLI?
Claude Code and Gemini CLI (and OpenAI Codex) are first party from the respective companies. But also kind of products - in extreme cases people pay $200/month for Claude Code and get $thousands and thousands of usage. There's product bundling there beyond just the interface.
I think Claude Code specifically has a reputation for being a 1st class citizen - as in the model is trained and evalled on that specific toolcall syntax.

#159Played around with it for a serious task for 15 mins. Compared to Claude Code:
Pros:
- Beautiful UI
- Useful sidebar, keep track of changed files, cost
- Better UX for accepting changes (has hotkeys, shows nicer diff)
Cons:
- Can't combine models. Claude Code using a combination of Haiku for menial search stuff and Sonnet for thinking is nice.
- Adds a lot of unexplained junk binary files in your directory. It's probably in the docs somewhere I guess.
- The initial init makes some CHARM.md that tries to be helpful, but everything it had did not seem like helpful things I want the model to know. Simple stuff, like, my Go tests use PascalCasing, e.g. TestCompile.
- Ctrl+C to exit crashed my terminal.
