OpenCode is actually client server architecture. Typically one either runs the TUI or the web interface. I wonder if it would cope ok with running multiple interfaces at once?

Neovim has a decade old feature request for multiple clients to be able to connect to it. No traction alas. Always a great superpower to have, if you can hack it. https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2161

Chrome DevToops Protocol added multiple client support maybe 5 years ago? It's super handy there because automation tools also use the same port. So you couldn't automate and debug at the same time!

That is a really tool ability, to move work between different executors. OpenCode is also super good at letting you open an old session & carry on, so you can switch between. I appreciate the mention; I love the mobile ambient aspect of how Claude Code can teleport this all!!

Why cram all features into one giant software instead of using multiple smaller pieces of software in conjunction? For the feature you mentioned I just use tmux which is built for this stuff.

Also, OpenCode has been extremely unreliable. I opened a PR about one of the simplest tools ever: `ls`, and they haven't fixed it yet. In a folder, their ls doesn't actually do what you'd expect: if iterates over all files of all folders (200 limit) and shows them to the model...
