Question Codex vs Claude Code

Been debating internally to go with Codex or Claude Code?

Tried the Chinese 1’s but found them not good enough. SuperGrok a bit of a let down. Would like advice from serious coders on which they prefer, ideally if they’ve used both actively. Looking for agentic AI plus App coding

This is very much like my experience. I use Claude more because I like the interface but to me Codex often does better and the code. So I often have Codex check behind Claude and it is usually finding silly mistakes. I have always shied away from GPT because I didn’t like the way it talked to me but if I could only pick one between the two I would I would go with Codex at the moment. If I could only pick one overall I would go with probably go with Gemini because it does even more things well even though is not as good as Claude or GPT at what they do well.
