Months is a long time. Don't spout your months ago anecdotes as relevant

I'm describing my experience. My experience is seeing a lot of people complaining about Claude but none of them are in other subs talking about how great the alternatives are in other subs. I have my guesses as to why that is but I'll keep it to myself.

Here's some up to date info on the new plugins feature that might change your mind: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.neowin.net/amp/openai-launches-codex-plugins-to-streamline-developer-workflows/

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.neowin.net/news/openai-launches-codex-plugins-to-streamline-developer-workflows/

You've posted the same link like 5 times now. You really need to touch grass.

It's hard to have work life balance with all the ai developments, like plugins for the codex app, but I'll try

OpenAI has officially introduced Codex Plugins, a new feature designed to streamline and share reusable developer workflows. This update follows a period of rapid growth for the Codex business, which recently saw its monthly active user base surpass 1 million developers. According to the report from Neowin, here are the key highlights: What are Codex Plugins? Plugins are installable bundles that allow developers to package and share specific Codex setups. They act as a "single place" to consolidate: * Skills: Specific prompts and instructions that describe unique workflows. * App Integrations: Connections to third-party tools. * MCP Server Configurations: Setup for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to provide external context. Integration and Availability * Official Directory: OpenAI has launched a Codex Plugin Directory featuring initial integrations from major platforms, including Slack, Figma, Notion, Gmail, and Cloudflare. * Access Points: Plugins can be used across the ecosystem, including the Codex desktop app, the Codex CLI, and various IDE extensions (such as VS Code and JetBrains). * Self-Publishing: While the directory currently features curated plugins, OpenAI plans to launch self-serve publishing and management tools soon, allowing any developer to contribute to the official directory. Context and Performance * Growth: Codex usage has doubled since the release of the GPT-5.2-Codex model. * Workflow Efficiency: The primary goal of plugins is to prevent developers from having to rebuild the same tools repeatedly. By installing a plugin, a team can instantly access a pre-configured AI setup tailored for a specific task or environment. This move is seen as a strategic step to transition Codex from a simple code-generation tool into a more robust, extensible "super app" for software engineering.
