Any reason to switch from vscode with codex to this app? To me it looks like this app is more for non-developers but maybe I’m missing something

Good question! VS Code is still a great place for deep, hands-on coding with the Codex IDE extension.

We built the Codex app to make it easier to run and supervise multiple agents across projects, let longer-running tasks execute in parallel, and keep a higher-level view of what’s happening. Would love to hear your feedback!

  • I already have multiple projects that I manage in full-screen via vscode. I just move from one to the other using “cmd” + “->” . You should be aware that the Claude Code extension for vscode is way better than codex extension so perhaps you should work a bit on that as well. Even if the agents do 80% of work I still need to check what they do and a familiar IDE seems the first choice of existing/old school developer

  • ok , 'projects' but this would make a lot more sense if we could connect remotely to the projects which works without a problem using the IDE plugin, so right now I don't see any advantage of using this
