I tried using omp, and really like the interface, but I found it used tokens much much quicker than the Claude cli. Some simple tasks would use all the session tokens in less than an hour, as where I could get easily get 3-4 hours with Claude. Both set to use opus 4.8 auto effort. I tried tweaking the models for agents down to haiku and sonnet in omp, but didn't notice any real difference in the speed tokens were being used.

if the website is any indication, omp is just vibe coded AI slop as well. pi is awesome but it looks like omp is a step down including unnecessary stuff no one needs. it's kinda the opposite of pi
I've heard amazing things about pi and it's effectivenes but when I tried installing it I quickly found out it doesn't respect XDG_BASE_DIRECTORY at all, you need to set some environment variables and the author rejected both a proposal as "going full gpt", seemingly not even knowing about XDG_BASE_DIRECTORY, and even rejected a PR.

I've heard really good things but that being my first experience with pi didn't fill me with confidence about it's code quality either.

For now I stay with OpenCode I think - I was using zed editor and agent for the longest time anyway and think I will go back to that. CLI tools for me seem a bit too disconnected from the code.

Interesting! I wouldn't know, because I'm on mac. I love that it's very basic and I can basically do plug and play with the stuff I need. The load, complexity and system prompt overhang is quite minimal. But in the end, opencode is also fine I guess. I don't need to fiddle around with it too much and just need it to work. So if you're happy, why switch ;) I actually use zed as an editor w/o agents lol
