I think I like Codex for the same reason tbh. I think it's just general misanthropy or autism or something lol. Most people seem to prefer Claude.

For me, I think Codex was visibly smarter than Claude until 4.8 came out, it would regularly do better debugging and IMO write better code. 4.8 I think is close.

I think Claude is widely regarded to have a big lead in front-end, which I do not work on.

Claude's Ultrathink is pretty cool, though it eats up tokens like nothing else obviously.
