I moved from Claude to Codex and am happier. The prose is less grating and results comparable. As much as I don't like Altman I am tired of Anthropic's antics.

I tried this and while the prose is indeed snappier I find the code quality of Codex truly horrific. It's dense and uninterpretable. I almost wonder if they have made it purposefully opaque so that it's harder to resume work without Codex once you're using it agentically. Claude is still much better at writing quality code that is fit for human consumption.

Same.

I'm so happy to not look at bogus jargon that Claude made up.

Um., Codex is now suffering from the same thing afaict. It is almost as if having a duopoly is a bad thing for consumers.
