I use both, read what I need to read and fix small issues myself. Both Agents are pure magic and none of their issues warrant a tantrum on a public forum.

I don't get frustrated if a problem is genuinely difficult to solve and the product creator is trying their best,

I get frustrated when a problem has been solved by other similar products but a specific creator or provider refuses to follow suit and fix their shit.

Claude's Electron app vs. Codex's native app is one such example right off the first impression of both products.

    Codex desktop is Electron too. What app are you talking about?

      Oh my fuck, I was led to believe that the Codex Mac app was native. Codex itself said so. Google also said so but now it says different.

      Codex definitely "feels" more native than Claude: Proper menus etc, like when you right-click on a session in the sidebar, Codex shows an actual context menu, whereas Claude reveals its HTML-rendered jank and highlights the word you right-clicked on as if the sidebar item is just a plain textbox, ugh
