I’ve been using Codex pretty heavily and the experience lately feels noticeably worse for real coding work. It feels less reliable than Opus 4.7 for longer tasks, repo context, and staying on track through multi-step changes. I know Claude 4.7/Claude Code is not perfect either, and 5.5-level reasoning is obviously strong in some ways, but for actual day-to-day coding I’m starting to feel like I’d rather have the Claude workflow back. For people still using Claude Code heavily: how has it been recently? Main things I care about:
- long-running repo work
- fewer weird interruptions
- better codebase memory/context
- reliable tool use
- not needing to babysit every step Curious if people here think Claude Code is still better for serious coding sessions, or if I’m just hitting bad Codex edge cases. submitted by /u/Mangohawkami
