If you use Claude Code, it will take you half a day to learn to use Codex, and like 30 minutes to start being productive in it. The switching cost is almost zero. Just go test out GPT 5.3, there is no reason not to

It's a bit more than zero, because I have substantial tooling around Claude Code – subagents, skills, containerization, &c – that I'd have to (have Opus...) reimplement.

You can point CC at other models, e.g. via OpenRouter. It only requires three env variables to be set.

Exactly. If Codex is really as good, it should have no problem porting any settings or config from the Claude setup. (and I do believe it wouldn't have much of a problem)
