Do you have an opinion on OpenCode vs Aider?

[briga]

I haven't tried Aider yet but perhaps I will. Another one that seems to be getting traction is Pi Coding Agent.

Aider is still around? That is pre-tool-calling era stuff. Better compare against Pi.

I just started running coding agents locally. So you recommend Pi over opencode? (And obviously aider is out?)

[sunaookami]

Haven't tried OpenCode too much but I found it great. It's more batteries included so I would recommend it over Pi if you don't want to write extensions yourself or use community-provided ones (like webfetch and websearch).

I personally found better results with Opencode. But Pi is really nice too.
