This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have such a sucky tui or ecosystem. AI is chef's kiss, tooling is bottom barrel.

Not really, GPT 5.4 is a great alternative. There's no real loss from using that over Claude Opus. And open models are quite close behind.

I'll do most of my work in opencode with GPT 5.3/5.4 and just spin up Claude Code for a review/cleanup pass.

Opencode just works faster and I prefer the UX.

I’ll try 5.4 again but when I spent a couple of hours with it, I found it much weaker than Claude code + opus 4.6 for working on large projects.

Are you delegating substantial work like planning and executing refactors, or more at single-line and function-level work?

I think the gap is smaller than it has been in the past but I largely agree with you, generally larger work is done much better with Claude Code.

GPT 5.4 keeps erroring out when I’ve tried it on long complex tasks. Might be works harness I guess.
