Those of you doing agent-assisted coding, what is your current daily driver? Cursor? Claude Code? Codex? Something else? (Responses to the effect of "I don't" or "I hate AI" will be ignored)

opencode or amp, trying goose a bit. mainly glm-5 via a subscription that was very cheap at the time (but new plans have harsh weekly limits). chatgpt+ for a little codex that's so good but it goes so fast. some opus. kimi k2.5 for some writing. will get a codex max plan at some point.

also started dabbling in CodeCompanion and it is *so sick*. i spend so much time writing, and the opencode experience is adequate but neovim is divine. and it wraps opencode or so many other agents so well. so well. stellar software! 🚀 github.com/olimorris/co...

Surprised not to see anyone else mention Google's Antigravity in here. It's a vscode fork very similar to Cursor. I already paid for a bunch of Google storage so I get some AI for "free". I've been pretty happy with it though and have used Cursor, CC, Amp, and Zed in the past.

Getting good results with claude code in terminal with worktrees and for work that I'm directly driving zed with copilot is the only ide experience with valuable suggestions.

Claude Code at home, OpenCode at work. Mostly Opus for both, but at work I do experiment a bit with other models and use GPT models for reviews and sometimes Kimi to mix things up.

Claude Code is almost all via the terminal. OpenCode I use TUI mostly, and the web interface when I'm using worktrees

claude code. we run it on bedrock at work, and i have a personal subscription for myself. i literally learned neovim just because of claude code, but honestly these days i'm usually just viewing diffs in it (nvim is nice because it's fast to poke around various git worktrees with it).

Claude Code all the way, often through Conductor, which I've been falling a little out of love with, so I've made my own orchestrator UI to replace it.

You can replicate the basic idea by asking Claude to manually create worktrees and seed them with TASK.md.tmp files. Then manually spawning gemini's (with 3 pro, 2 is... bad) in those worktrees and tell them to read their task file, complete the task, and file a PR

Zed. Ironically, I find Claude Code slows me down. I recognise this is probably entirely down to my own habits, my colleagues don't have the same issue.

I also have it set to use Copilot as the model source, it turns out 3-5x cheaper for my usage pattern, even if I do miss the gigantic context windows when paying Anthropic directly.

Claude Code, mainly Terminal but sometimes in VS Code sidebar. I just posted about a personal project update driven by claude

Opus in Claude Code, with a dash of Pi on the side so I can tell CC to request external code reviews from Codex/Gemini/whatever via a Bash call. I currently work exclusively w/ Xcode, so I use a custom setup of docker container, host/guest MCP bridging, and worktree shenanigans.

Cursor for code (most recently had it make a wrapper for a free tool I use but doesn’t do exactly what I want. Gemini for non-code stuff (usually errors or how do I do X if a web search fails first, mostly ops stuff)

I recently switched to open code. I am incredibly happy with that choice. (has terminal and gui, which both have good polish) Feels significantly better than claude code. And quite a bit better than cursor which are the two I've spent the most time in.

Claude Code primarily, but with Batty as a supervisor layer on top. It dispatches kanban tasks to Claude Code/Codex/Aider in parallel tmux panes, with test gates before merge. Going from one agent to supervised parallel agents was a game changer. github.com/battysh/batty

I use a mix of: Claude Code (Max 100 plan), OpenCode (with gpt-5.3-codex from OpenAI team plan), GitHub Copilot. Since the reliability and performance of Claude is a continuous up and down, it’s hard to use just a single product.

Cursor for now - mostly bc I signed up for a year, paid in full, last May. Will need to reevaluate if renewal vs Claude Code is the right call next.

Claude Code usually with the VS Code extension, but sometimes just the CLI. Also often use Gemini CLI for reviews of complex plans.

Claude with a decision graphing and memory tool I made to give it nice guardrails and ability to recover state and do deeper analysis q&a super effectively to plan (the tool is agnostic tho it works with the major editors/opencode/claude) notactuallytreyanastasio.github.io/deciduous/

I'm using Claude Code but in its incarnation as a Cursor extension so I still have a GUI and can see what it's up to.

I've used opencode, claude code, continue for vS code, and cursor. Currently using claude code, but planning to go back to opencode; I preferred that experience most of the 4. I use my code editor separately now prompt-stuff in CLI; and don't use much 'in editor' things. Feels uncluttered this way

I should mention I've not yet evaluated codex or tidalwave. I also forgot to mention I used Aider for months. Its great, but opencode or claude code in the CLI is better.
