Opus 5.5 Review: Every.to Says It's Pulling Codex Converts Back to Claude

Every.to's Vibe Check finds Opus 5.5 winning back users who had switched to Codex.

Kieran Klaassen says it dethroned Fable 5.1 as his daily driver, sometimes slightly better.
Tyler Nishida: "My jaw dropped at least five or six times this week"—willing to drop a $200 subscription for it.
Demo: Opus 5.5 spent five hours building an interactive lesson, using dozens of subagents across 50 files, designing pages and adding playable examples.
Priced at roughly 60% less than Fable's token price, a key selling point.
Not a clean sweep: Dan Shipper calls it a "smaller Fable"—great for end-to-end coding, but he still prefers OpenAI models for writing and knowledge work; its prose often buries the point.
