I've tried most of the CLI coding tools with the Claude models and I keep coming back to Claude Code. It hits a sweet spot of simple and capable, and right now I'd say it's the best from an "it just works" perspective.
In my experience the CLI tool is part of the secret sauce. I haven't tried switching models per each CLI tool though. I use claude exclusively at work and for personal projects I use claude, codex, gemini.
Claude Code seems to package a relatively smart prompt as well, as it seems to work better even with one-line prompts than alternatives that just invoke the API.
Key word: seems. It's impossible to do a proper qualitative analysis.

It’s mostly the model, Copilot, Claude Code, OpenCode, snake oil like Oh My OpenCode, it’s not huge differences.

Why do you call Oh My OpenCode snake oil?
