OpenCode is a coding agent that runs where you already work rather than in a separate chat window. The same session can be driven from a terminal, an editor extension, or a desktop client, and it keeps context across all three.
Copilot put model assisted completion in front of a very large number of developers first, and inline suggestion in the editor remains the interaction most people mean by AI coding.
Autonomous agents that complete real engineering tasks

OpenHands runs agents that plan and execute multi-step engineering work: reading a repository, editing files, running tests, and iterating until a task is done. Each agent works inside a sandboxed runtime rather than on the host machine.
Cursor forked VS Code rather than extending it, which let it change the editing model itself. Multi-file edits, codebase-wide context, and a tab completion that predicts the next edit rather than the next token are the result.
