Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | draive | Jido | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.5 | draive — Pick it if you have been burned parsing model output into something your code can use; pick a lighter library if a string is honestly all you needed. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 7.3 | Jido — Effects are returned as directives for the runtime to execute rather than performed inline, which makes the decision path a pure function and therefore testable. |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 5.5 | draive — Miquido is a software house, so this is a consultancy publishing its internal method, and 110 stars is the marketing return so far. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 5.3 | draive — Logs, metrics and traces are built-in hooks rather than something we retrofit, and there is nothing to buy for sixty engineers and nothing to administer. |
| El Hacker | 6.5 | 7.5 | Jido — Apache-2.0 and one line in mix.exs, but it speaks no MCP, so anything I already run has to be bridged by hand before these agents can use it. |
