I wouldn't list Opencode as "good reputation". They had their own unbound "harness scans the whole user directory" oopsie and handled concerns about that by introducing code signing. Which, yes, does have absolutely nothing to do with that issue. I guess by now it is better, but to me they seem to lack the engineering culture necessary for a "good reputation" stamp. __ Ref: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/14925#issuecomment-4149189433 https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/14925#issuecomm... among other issues.

Why?

Their reputation is “bad” but not because of privacy concerns. I personally think they’re trustworthy

  We use opencode with self hosted llm for privacy reasons. Good, right? Well, no, because opencode by default uses a "free" cloud model to summarize all chats even if a different model was configured as the main one. I wonder how many opencode users upload their private secrets to the cloud, while thinking they're using a self hosted model. Btw. I don't think this is malicious, just sloppy.

    It uses gpt-5-nano through OpenCode Zen to generate the title unless you override `small_model`. https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#self-hosted-gitlab https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#self-hosted-gitlab

How about the one where if you start a session outside of a Git repository, the "worktree root" is set to /. Bug report closed as "not planned".

  FWIW, I don't think that they're being malicious. They instead just seem to have no idea nor do they care. And the original comment I've replied to proves this strategy right! So from a business standpoint: excellent work.

    Glad my arbitrary failure to try them has worked out! For people seeking OS-native harnesses, I can recommend Factory's Droid. I know I'll be returning to it with my head hung low today, after I uninstall ZCode. It does have a "mission" feature that's stuck in the strange, distant times of 2025 by way overdoing mandatory verification steps, which means they don't support swarms/workflows/crews/fleets yet -- that is, it's all done in sequence. But they have the boring, corporate engineering attitude that I think we're are all craving rn, and generally seem competent. I can heartily dis-recommend Vix, even though they gamed themselves to the top of at least one ranking site that shall not be named; exactly like the quasi-bad-faith incompetence described with OpenCode above, but without even the "Open-" branding! Though perhaps that word has been so thoroughly burnt as a prefix by Sam Altman & Microsoft's criminal behavior that we should let it go... Is this how "FLOSS" wins over "OSS"? Not with an ideological bang, but with a marketing issue?

      > Is this how "FLOSS" wins over "OSS"? Not with an ideological bang, but with a marketing issue? Nah, I don't think so. Also, we arguably do not want FLOSS to "win" over OSS, because that just means people with no taste or sense cluttering up the repos, issues and support chats. "Open" being used as a signal for non-hacker people was a weird and unpleasant development, but, if you think about it, it might be a blessing in disguise and shall keep them away from the more pleasant spaces. It's not that they'd care about being scammed, mistreated and rug-pulled anyway. They want that. They do it themselves all the time. Every time they encounter a space that treats them well, they terraform it into baseline miserable-ness. So let them have the "Open" prefix. It's just words, anyway.

I'm glad i'm not the only one that noticed w/opencode.. I tried it a few times, every single time... it immediately went bad, didn't work, can't do anything simple like simple file edits.. yet somehow, there are thousands on the internet ready to tell me how great it is! Opencode looks good in the terminal but that's really the only good thing about it.
