For some people it clearly works, for others it does not. I feel quite hopeless with a Claude subscription, but the $100 ChatGPT subscription has been a lifesaver for a lot of my work. I have very little complaints and couldn't imagine switching.

This is literally the opposite of my experience, for whatever it's worth.

I went so far as to cancel my $200 Claude Max account (after having it since launch) in favor of the equivalent OpenAI subscription, primarily because I feel like it goes so much further. Also Astra is pretty great.

But to each their own! I'm sure this experience is very dependent on the types of work you're doing. I'm doing basic web app development as as simple personal assistant automation stuff.

My experience seems to echo some parts of yours: Codex is stingy with tokens when compared to Claude Code.

But Codex is superior when comes to diagnosing bugs ( especially when they involve WPF UI threads), writing tests ( yes, even simulating the form cycles and asynchronous operations) and fixing them.
