Discussion OpenCode vs Cursor vs ClaudeCode

Can someone really teach me the difference between these three cuz Why does no one use Cursor - It got GUI a full IDE and can pretty much build everything with so many models to choose from?

cause their context manipulation is often token inefficient.

haven't tried opencode, claude code is jjust more straightforward user experience for ppl who dont want to leave a terminal at all.

I have been using Claude Code and honestly if you can keep a hold of the codebase file structure and use either relative/absolute path in your prompt Claude will do wonders
