And why? I'd genuinely like to understand who is on which side and why. I'd also like to know, if you use one of them, what kind of subscription plan you have.

most advanced, configurable and capable harness of all time, and i use both 200$ subs with it. Has a huge learning curve though so if you're not into that i'd go with whatever you already use the most

hadn't come across either of these before, thanks. using both behind the same harness sounds really interesting.
do you still choose claude vs codex depending on the task, or has the harness made them mostly interchangeable? what took the longest to learn?

What does […] mean in the OP post body? That you use other solutions than the 1 mentioned but are omitting them?

no, sorry for the confusion. i meant [...] as a placeholder for the rest of the answer, as in: "i use claude (max) because of x, y and z..." not that i'm omitting other solutions.

#8I have personally been a heavy claude code user since it launched, I have a claude subscription at home and my employer pays for a claude account at work.
Until the launch of Fable I'd been very happy with claude code besides the outages where it could be offline for hours.
When Fable released it was a good step up from using Opus.
When it was taken away and then reinstated under some weird billing and vague notion of how it would be available in the long run, I noticed the model itself was worse than the brief time it was up before the US gov shut it down.
Now I'm evaluating Codex at home for personal use. I may switch to using chatGPT at home and whatever work provides (which is currently Claude).
Codex and 5.6 Sol seem just as good as Opus and Fable right now, but I only have 1-2 weeks testing.
Keeping the flagship models in the basic subscription is the main driver for me evaluating chatGPT again, I hadn't really used it since about GPT4 (I missed all of the O-models like o1, o3) and I moved to Claude when it was clearly better.
The ergonomics of claude skills are better than codex's agent skills imo.
ChatGPT and codex have more generous usage limits it seems.

It's vibes mostly.
Like, fable is better on frontend while 5.6sol is better at long running tasks with a lot of subtasks, harness did made them mostly interchangeable as well as able to have them both participate in solving a hard issue.
Longest to learn is the ui (I'm more of a GUI guy but this is just too good) and all hundreds of features where you want to do something and then discover the harness already supports it out of the box but you never knew it, yet
