Insight: OpenCode claims to deliver Claude Code's capabilities without vendor lock-in. Both tools let you chat with your codebase, run terminal commands, and ship features. The open-source alternative appeals to teams wanting model flexibility, but the question is whether it can match Claude Code's ecosystem maturity (skills, hooks, MCP integration, $1B revenue-validated UX patterns).
