The GPT models are heavily biased to a more incremental, empirical, evidence based approach. Sometimes to a fault. I prefer them for this reason, but it requires coaxing or strategic use of /goal to break it out if its highly staged, one piece at a time, approach.. if you don't like it.

I suspect for people doing more... website ... type development, the more "yeet this into existence" style of Opus feels preferable.

With Claude I was constantly jamming my finger on the escape key "wait, you did what?! based on what proof?!"

You make it sound as if Codex is for people who know what they want and Claude Code is for people who don’t know what they’re doing.
