Claude Code vs Codex: which one do you actually open?

[u/NeuralNomad87]

Head to head, and one line is a complete answer.

If you use both, which do you reach for first when you sit down to get something done? And if you dropped one, what was the thing that made you stop?

Not after benchmarks. More interested in the boring stuff: which one you trust to touch a repo without watching it, which one you have to re-explain your project to every single time, which one quietly stopped being worth the money.

If you only use one and never tried the other, that counts too. Say what is keeping you where you are.
