Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | deepx-code | OpenCode | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.3 | 8.0 | OpenCode — OpenCode is what to hand anyone who wants the Claude Code shape with their own keys and a model picker; pick Claude Code if you want one vendor and one bill. |
| El Crítico | 6.8 | 7.0 | OpenCode — Commands run with your permissions and no sandbox, and the Zen gateway offers free models without saying who pays for them. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.8 | deepx-code — A cache hit rate near 99% on long sessions is reported without a session definition, a workload, or a comparison, which makes it a measurement in form only. |
| La Inversora | 6.3 | 6.0 | deepx-code — 384 stars and a product shaped around the provider it optimises for: a single-vendor bet with no company behind it and no hedge if that vendor's pricing moves. |
| La Jefa | 7.0 | 5.8 | deepx-code — It isolates by default through macOS Seatbelt and Linux bubblewrap rather than asking the user to opt in, which is the first default on this shelf I did not have to argue for. |
| El Hacker | 8.0 | 8.8 | OpenCode — MIT, Ollama for offline, MCP servers in opencode.json with a published $schema, custom agents, and it has already been forked, which is the point. |
