If Claude Code was a car it'd be the ideal practical vehicle for all kinds of uses.
If OpenAI Codex was a car, it'd be a cauldron with wheels.
The reason I say this is CC offers so many features: plan mode, hooks, escape OR ctrl-c to interrupt it, and today added quick rewind. Meanwhile Codex can't even wrap text to the width of the terminal; you can't type to it while it's working to queue up messages to steer it (you have to interrupt with Ctrl-C then type), and it doesn't show you clearly when it's editing files or what edits it's making. It's the ultimate expression of OpenAI's "the agent knows what to do, silly human" plan for the future - and I'm not here for that. I want to steer my agent, and be able to have it show me its plan before it edits anything.
I really wish the developers of Codex spent more time using Claude Code.
