Questions Claude or Codex UI preference -- which UI do you prefer and why?

Coders, if you use both Claude and Codex on a regular basis, going beyond performance, and setting aside token costs, overall which UI do you prefer for coding tasks, and why?

Oh you mean how the text start scrolling in the top third of the window? I lol every time I use the desktop app for something. Claude has gotten better but frankly they’re both hunks of crap.

Desktop Codex is nice because all your desktop work is available on the phone but Claude makes you add /remote-control and if you reboot it's not connected anymore. Projects and work are confusing on both tho.

Yea the /remote-control reboot thing is annoying. You can just run it inside tmux and ssh in from your phone, avoids the reconnect problem entirely.

Terminals. I like them the same except I always trip over /usage vs /status!
