CC has better agent tools and is faster. The ability to switch from plan mode to execution mode and back is huge. Toggling thinking also. And of course they are innovating all of these agentic features like MCP, sub-agents, skills, etc...
Codex writes higher quality code, but is slower and less feature rich. I imagine this will change within months. The jury is still out. Exciting times!
I guess I don’t understand wanting faster and worse for much work, and some of the features like subagents are dubious or like skills and planning mode are minor conveniences over skill files mentioned by agents.md and toggling read only mode or using a plan file. After all those latter features are just conveniences for assembling context.
Maybe CC users haven’t figured out how to parallelize their work because it’s fast enough to just wait or be distracted, and so the Codex waiting seems unbearable.
