Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Claudable | Onlook | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 7.3 | Onlook — Pick Onlook if you want a visual editor that writes directly back to your Next.js and Tailwind codebase. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 7.8 | Onlook — Onlook bridges React code and visual DOM styling, but it binds your workflow strictly to Next.js and TailwindCSS. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.5 | 7.0 | Onlook — Treat Onlook as an open-source visual prototyping experiment while monitoring how the team monetizes its upcoming hosted tier. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 6.5 | Onlook — Open-source visual editor for Next.js, but lacks the audit logs, SSO, and centralized controls required for team adoption. Not yet. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 7.3 | no preference |
