I use both, read what I need to read and fix small issues myself. Both Agents are pure magic and none of their issues warrant a tantrum on a public forum.

I posted a more detailed report in case you can't see it in your thread view: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47541369

I don't get frustrated if a problem is genuinely difficult to solve and the product creator is trying their best,

I get frustrated when a problem has been solved by other similar products but a specific creator or provider refuses to follow suit and fix their shit.

Claude's Electron app vs. Codex's native app is one such example right off the first impression of both products.

Codex desktop is Electron too. What app are you talking about?

Oh my fuck, I was led to believe that the Codex Mac app was native. Codex itself said so. Google also said so but now it says different.

Codex definitely "feels" more native than Claude: Proper menus etc, like when you right-click on a session in the sidebar, Codex shows an actual context menu, whereas Claude reveals its HTML-rendered jank and highlights the word you right-clicked on as if the sidebar item is just a plain textbox, ugh

"Claude Code has been bleh or meh at best in my experience."

"Why"

"HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR CONTEXT MENU"

Are you being dumb on purpose and ignoring the rest of the shit I said or just fanboying for Anthropic?

Claude's AI. itself. is. trash.

Their UI/UX makes it worse.

The constant fanboying/paid PR around it makes it the worst.

I’m just pointing out that your personal preferences are not proofing others wrong.

Especially since you’re factually wrong and you’re bad at arguing when your temper gets the best of you.

OH MY FN GOD, Claude isn't even respecting my AGENTS.md and other instructions! Codex does it seamlessly.

Just right NOW it generated GDScript code with SPACES instead of TABS for indentation despite me explicitly asking for tabs and everything else in the project using tabs.

Your use case is either extremely simple, involving extremely common scenarios, or you're too lazy to verify Claude's output.

Either way, it's not worth the hassle to convince someone using a bad product that it's bad; nothing's gonna improve, and you're the one being harmed by stubbornly gaslighting yourself and others that it's good. The rest of us will escape by never subscribing again.

I've already wasted too much time on this thread. I keep saying I am using BOTH Claude AND Codex SIDE BY SIDE but that's somehow getting filtered out by your fanboy glasses. I could post screenshots of the outputs of both agents for the SAME prompts but you would still not understand.
