OpenAI's macOS desktop coding agent app for orchestrating multiple parallel agents on long-running tasks, distinct from Codex CLI and IDE extension.
Specific experiences are worth more than sweeping claims.

I've been using Codex for a while, and I'm really impressed. It's easy to use, produces professional-quality code, and saves me a lot of development time. The price is fair considering how much productivity it adds. Definitely worth trying if you write code every day.

I try to make it a point to acknowledge when I am wrong. And after some time, and maybe after the release of Codex 5.3, the Codex App is a VERY good agentic coder. I stand by my initial impression, so far as the claim that it did piss me off, but I completely retract my prediction that Codex/OpenAI is going down the Nokia death spiral based on the performance of the current Codex App paired with the Codex 5.3 model. I think a combination of the new model version, and me having maximum bad luck in my first test (it truly didn’t do that great), made me come to the wrong conclusion. Codex App is actually pretty good. Thanks for pushing back.
