    Less appropriate for people who don't use LLMs to code but instead to create artifacts. Cursor is a fluid development platform, not something that will create an artifact to run in the cloud. Well designed to work on teams, to manage the code and how the LLMs interact with the code itself. Great for deep vibe coding.

    Codex is great for coding, but also really good for knowledge work. When used properly, Codex can take over the execution of actions correctly and precisely across multiple software products, enabling more focus and less context switching.

    Cursor is the best AI-powered IDE available today. The agents intelligently absorb context from the code, memory, and rules, and are capable of iterating with subagents until acceptance criteria is met.

    Cursor is useful for all our developer team. Each and every team member use Cursor for coding and also Cursor has various models like composer, codex, claude and openai models which helps a lot for quality codings. Also Cursor help to create documents in md file format with markdown and preview which helps a lot.

    I am using OpenAI Codex to help me to write complete automation framework. Like previously I am manually written the test scripts but after using it it enhance me the speed of writing scripts as well as with more efficient manner and just give some images and videos to help to understand the AI agents what are you want ? So its convert into your accordingly demand coding

    graphical user interface is really the thing that setting apart because other code harnesses are really focused on commandline interfaces but whenever you want a good graphical interface with all of the tools and workflow that us software developers we want I think that Cursor is the one that has done it the best out of all of the code harnesses that we’ve tried

    OpenAI Codex is more easy to implement in our source code. OpenAI Codex with chatgpt are more useful combination to search anything and debug the things if something are failure.
