This thing about openai brand is changing fast. In the dev circles I'm part of, everybody dislikes OpenAI and prefer Claude. How long it'll take for the same to happen with the normies?
I use Claude for work and Codex for private use due to already having a Plus subscription.
I can't say that I have noticed that 5.3-Codex is much better, but it's definitely on par with Opus 4.6, and its limits for $25/months is comparable to Max x5 at 1/4th of the cost (not to mention pay-per-token which we use at work). Claude Code is generally a much better experience though.

The only places where I hear people say claude is better is: - Frontend design - Random computer use tasks
But people trust codex for large scale architecture and changes
