The Coding CLI Landscape

The 3-way race between Claude Code, Perplexity Computer, and Kilo Code — the three coding CLIs the channel's coverage keeps coming back to. The pitch in one sentence: Claude Code gives you control, Perplexity Computer gives you parallel-agent orchestration, and Kilo Code gives you a BYOK OpenRouter on-ramp. The mid-session escape hatch that ties the three together is the `/model` hot-swap.
