“It talks to you over Telegram, Lark and WeChat, so your build now has a group chat and it is not the one you wanted.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Agent Maestro | Codeg | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | Agent Maestro — Pick this if you already run Roo Code or Cline in VS Code and want a script to start their tasks; pick a plain terminal agent if you would rather the editor were gone. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | Agent Maestro — It controls extensions it does not ship. A Roo Code or Cline release can change the surface underneath it, and twenty concurrent tasks share one editor process. |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 6.0 | Agent Maestro — Server-Sent Events for live monitoring and an OpenAPI document at /openapi.json mean the control surface is specified rather than described. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 6.0 | Codeg — 3,197 stars for a permissively licensed workspace with no price, no hosted tier and no company, aggregating tools whose vendors have every reason to close the door. |
| La Jefa | 5.0 | 6.0 | Codeg — Free for sixty engineers with a container deployment my team can run, and the automations schedule themselves here rather than in the pipeline system we already operate. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 7.5 | Agent Maestro — MIT, and it flips the arrow: Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI point at my editor instead of a provider, because it answers /messages and /chat/completions itself. |
