Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Adnify | Kun | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.3 | Adnify — Pick Adnify if you want to approve a plan before an agent touches anything; pick Cursor if you would rather steer inline and skip the ceremony. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | Adnify — Git operations are gated by a subcommand whitelist and terminal execution runs straight on the host, so the blast radius of a bad tool call is your machine. |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 6.5 | Adnify — Context comes from an LSP layer and a LanceDB index over the codebase, and Plan Mode terminates in an explicit result-validation step rather than a summary. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.0 | Adnify — One author, a bespoke licence agreement bearing the product's own name, and 273 stars: no company here, only a person holding a rights position he has not priced. |
| La Jefa | 4.5 | 4.8 | Kun — Sixty desktop installs each running their own local service, no SSO, no audit log, and no headless mode, so nothing here reaches a pipeline or a report. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 6.5 | Kun — PolyForm Noncommercial, so I can read it and never ship a competing fork, but Ollama is a named preset and every base URL is editable. |
