Is Pi the Best Coding Agent? Pi vs OpenCode vs Claude Code

I switched from OpenCode to Pi, a minimal and hackable AI coding agent for terminal first developers. In this video I compare Pi vs OpenCode vs Claude Code, show why Pi became my daily coding agent, and explain why it feels like the Neovim of AI coding agents.If you are looking for an OpenCode alternative, a Claude Code alternative, or a customizable terminal coding agent for Neovim and tmux, Pi is worth checking out.
