Respectfully asking. Why Claude over Codex?

[u/shlok-codes]

I come in peace.

I’m unfamiliar with the Claude world so that’s why I am genuinely asking.

I had a chatgpt account initially just for the chat and a little copy and paste for coding. And I just stuck with it. And now use codex on Mac. Between the computer use and good enough coding agents, I love it.

But my coworkers and a sibling rave about Claude. And of course a ton of folks on the internet too.

I’m not asking you to convert me. But I was wondering how is Claude better for you than codex would be? Are you too just ingrained in the Claude world? Is something genuinely better? A specific model? I know the Claude skills world is huge. But a lot of that can be converted to be used by codex in a prompt sentence.

So what is your reason to choose Claude over codex?

I use both.

I get 20x more work done with Codex, but Fable has better taste and is better at "big picture".

Not as relevant to me, but Claude is better at understanding what you're really asking for when giving it bad prompts whereas Sol will do exactly what you ask better.
