Claude or GPT for programming: what makes you stick with one?
A programmer is considering switching from Claude Pro, which they pay $20/month for, to Codex for their programming needs. They feel Codex better aligns with their working and thinking style. They are seeking input from others who have made a similar switch, asking what they might miss about Claude and what aspects of Codex made them stick with it for everyday coding.

I’m currently paying $20/month for Claude Pro, but I’m thinking about switching to Codex. The more I use it, the more it feels like it fits the way I work and think as a programmer.
Has anyone here made that switch? What do you miss about Claude, and what made you stick with Codex? Curious how it’s worked out for your everyday coding.
