Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | BotSharp | Cersei | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.8 | Cersei — Pick it when the agent belongs inside your application; pick a terminal agent when you only want something to edit the repository while you watch. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 6.0 | BotSharp — Agents are decoupled plug-ins over a pipeline and routing dispatches by responsibility, which is a clean separation, and nothing in the design verifies an agent's output. |
| La Inversora | 5.0 | 5.8 | Cersei — One named author, 453 stars, no company and nothing to charge for: the acquisition risk is zero here because there is no asset an acquirer could buy. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 5.3 | BotSharp — A package reference costs sixty engineers nothing and slots into the build we already run, and the administration interface is one more thing we would have to host. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 7.5 | BotSharp — Apache-2.0, one package manager command, and tool servers get a management view instead of a config file I have to guess the schema of. |
