codex (their app) is pretty good and lots of banked resets, luna is cost effective and Astra seems better than Fable for many tasks. Most important one is less refusals and I can use it the way I want without the fear of getting banned. I do like Claude Code a lot when it comes to pure coding use cases but the work often touches outside code and I don't want to keep switching

The harness is great, but opus is such an arrogant little prick that spews out unintelligible word salad. Opus 5 is so bad at communication it amazes me that somebody green-lit it. It's absolutely awful.
The fact that this isn't an acknowledged regression (and Fable 5.1 isn't much better) leads me to believe that people at Anthropic actually like Opus 5's output.
