Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | claudecode.nvim | Multi | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 7.3 | Multi — Pick Multi if you want a capable agent in the editor you already opened and refuse to sign up for anything; pick Zoo Code if you would rather the source were readable. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 6.3 | Multi — Auto-approval is granted per category, so approving shell execution once approves every command in the class rather than the command in front of you. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 6.5 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 6.0 | Multi — Free for individuals, closed source, commercial licensing on request. That is a distribution play with the monetisation deliberately postponed, and the postponement has a deadline. |
| La Jefa | 4.5 | 5.0 | Multi — Zero for sixty individuals and an unpriced negotiation the moment they are sixty employees, because commercial licensing is arranged on request rather than published. |
| El Hacker | 7.5 | 6.8 | claudecode.nvim — MIT, pure Lua on the editor's own event loop with one plugin dependency, and no model choice at all because the backbone is fixed to one vendor. |
