@theo @BHolmesDev yeah, makes sense. codex app feels less like chat and more like a work queue for code, which is probably why people keep going back to it.

@BHolmesDev fun fact: you can mail a printed copy of your code to OpenAI's HQ with instructions on what you want to do (in any language!), and they'll send you back a printed copy of the updated code within 7 business days. try it!

@BHolmesDev CLIs for ai dev are hilarious. Like “GUIs are still an unproven efficiency tool.”

I like visual previews, an accessible index, a font from this millennium, and a built-in browser.

@BHolmesDev I'm not sure how to take your level of surprise about this but nothing has given me a compelling enough reason to leave Cursor. It's awesome.

@BHolmesDev I can confirm #1 is correct. Everything else doesn’t even matter.

@BHolmesDev I'm stuck with Codex CLI, they can't seem to nail proper integration with WSL.

@BHolmesDev GUIs in the IDE ✅

@BHolmesDev Fascinating to see CLIs in an IDE ranking last. Claude Code + Cursor doesn't feel like a CLI workflow. It's just an agent running while you stay in your editor.
