I also have issues with OpenCode. It induces a few facepalms and bafflement in a few key areas (“why the hell would you do it like that”).

Yet I still use it because they have made very sensible decisions in other key areas! The server/client split makes all the sense and the harness generally just works and has all the features that I want. They’ve done a great job with the core user experience.

Because of the clean client/server split, I can currently fully focus my energy on building a client that works just the way I want. When I’m done with that, I might tackle fixing the server to work the way I want.

If someone here is interested in maintaining a version of OpenCode that takes itself more seriously, I might be on board with contributing. The last time I looked such a project didn’t really exist with significant traction, unfortunately.

Despite my occasional facepalms when learning about how the stuff is made, I remain super grateful for OpenCode. It’s the only real fully-featured open alternative to the proprietary (I’ll include Codex in that) harnesses and has given me tremendous value for free.
