I guess you’re probably looking for someone who uses cursor etc to answer but here’s a data point from someone a bit off the beaten path.
My editor supports both modes (emacs). I have the editor integration features (diff support etc) turned off and just use emacs to manage 5+ shells that each have a CLI agent (one of Claude, opencode, amp free) running in them.
If I want to go deep into a prompt then I’ll write a markdown file and iterate on it with a CLI.
I noticed that OpenCode requires per their own website "a modern terminal emulator" - so, no problem in Emacs? Are you running M-x term?
I have my own function that starts up a vterm in the root of the repo that I’m in. It is average for running Claude (long sessions get the scrolling through the whole history on every output character bug) but actually better at running opencode which doesn’t have this problem.
