Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AionUi | VibeAround | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | AionUi — Pick AionUi if Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI are already installed and you want them in one window with file previews; pick Claude Squad if you want the same thing in a terminal. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | AionUi — Team Mode puts every agent in the same folder with its own permission dialog, and silent teammates are auto-escalated to failed; the per-agent approval badge is the part done right. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.8 | VibeAround — A launch-scoped recorder retains every request and response for a session, which is the artefact that makes a disputed agent run reconstructible rather than merely described. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.8 | VibeAround — 525 stars and a permissive licence on a launcher for ten other companies' agents: every one of them captures the value, and this captures the configuration burden. |
| La Jefa | 5.3 | 5.0 | AionUi — An Electron app on sixty laptops with cron jobs that keep the machine awake, a WebUI with password or QR login and no SSO, data in a local SQLite file, and support in a Discord. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 7.0 | VibeAround — MIT, and it refreshes a reserved MCP entry inside each launched agent's own configuration so that agent can reach the host-side tools this thing exposes. That is a neat trick. |
