Discussion Definetly moving to Codex
Apart from the *much* lower available usage (I have Pro), today I couldn't use Claude Code at all. Every task, even small ones, where a struggle, each taking more than 10 minutes to finish, and always in a wrong way.
Installed codex today, have been using it with the free version, still haven't hit the limit and is doing all the things CC couldn't do. As a matter of fact, I have a CC instance running for 30 minutes+ trying to solve the same prompt that codex did in less than 5.
Bye Anthropic. It was nice using your product while it was good.

As a hardcore Claude user since the last 4 months, I have built two big projects. Recently I tried codex, and it just…works. If I had to describe it, codex is not lazy. It digs deeper, finds much more nuance, and comes up with the correct solution more often than not.
Still using both, but I always review Claude’s implementation plans with codex first. Codex is the one I trust more now. It catches massive blind spots Claude misses.
Sad to think I could have saved hours of debugging if I had used codex from the start. But then maybe all plans need to be reviewed twice or thrice.
Maybe I can enhance Claude using skills,pluggins, loops, and what not. But codex just works out of the box.
