opencode stands out as one of the few agents with a proper client server architecture that allows something like openchambers great vscode extension so its possible to seamlessly switch between tui, vscode, webapp, desktop app. i think there is hardly a usable alternative for most coding agent usecases (assuming agents from model providers are a no go, they cannot be allowed to own the tools AND the models). But its also far from perfect: the webui is secretly served from their servers instead of locally for no reason. worse the fallback route gets also sent to their servers so any unknown request to opencode api ends up being sent to opencode servers potentially leaking data. the security defaults are horrific, its impossible to use it safely outside a controlled container. it will just serve your whole hard drive via rest endpoint and not constrain to project folders. the share feature uploading your conversations to their servers is also so weirdly communicated and implemented that it leaves a bad taste. I dont think this will become much better until the agent ecosystem is more modular and less monolith, acp, a2a and mcp need to become good enough so tools, prompts, skills, subagent setups and workflow engines and UIs are completely swappable and the agent core has to only focus on the essentials like runtime and glue architecture. i really hope we dont see all of these grow into full agent oses with artificial lock in effects and big effort buy in.
