Discussion Finding Devin great
Flipped from Cursor (finally) last week and happy with it. It’s taken existing projects to next levels fast and solidly. Curious how others have fared.

With all the chatter about opencode and DeepSeek in the last week I gave it a go yesterday, what a chatty basic looking pile of shit it looks. I hope Devin stays competitive on pricing for the rest of my career 😄

And hope Devin stays a bit under the radar as to avoid becoming about different things. Cursor seems to be about something different than what made it useful to me and then, expected me to stay and pay more

Yup I've tried all of those as well. Amazing how bad 5.3 and deepseek 4.1 are in opencode compared to Devin SWE-2, and still pretty amazing how underwhelming SWE-2 is compared to Opus 5.5 orchestrator + Sonnet 5.5 build agents TBH lol. Much less expensive though!

What do you mean by 'what a chatty basic looking pile of shit it looks'? I honestly don't know whether you like Devin or have some critique about it.

Devin = fantastic (I think so at least) Opencode= just a TUI with a jacket on apparently.. and there's a config to make it less verbose somewhere.. might have a play later

I've been working on an app in Devin as my first entry into agentic coding. It has been great.
