Open Claude Code?

Better than OpenCode and Codex

I wish.

Claude Code is clearly a pile of vibe-coded garbage. The UI is janky and jumps all over the place, especially during longer sessions. (Which also have a several second delay to render. In a terminal).

Lately, it's been crashing if I hold the Backspace key down for too long.

Being open-source would be the best thing to happen to them. At least they would finally get a pair of human eyes looking at their codebase.

Claude is amazing, but the people at Anthropic make some insane decisions, including trying (and failing, apparently) to keep Claude Code a closed-source application.

If you want something better than both of those try Crush which is a standalone go binary by the original developer of OpenCode.

Not really. This guy expresses my feelings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxB4M3GlcWQ I also prefer codex over claude. But opencode is best. If you can use a good model. We can via Github Business Subscription.
