Do you use Claude Code, Codex, or a different vibe coding/agentic engineering tool for most of your work? Why?

At work we only have access to claude / kiro. I only use it via cli since I find this to be the most flexible setup as claude can find stuff anywhere, read, write and run programs etc.

claude - org pays for it.
org used to pay for both, and i preferred codex back then (~3mo ago).
i find claude to be significantly lazier or require significantly more guidance. it does, however, have better design and ui/ux intuition.
