Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Gas Town | Tutti | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.0 | Gas Town — The prerequisite list is Git 2.20, Go 1.26.2, Beads 0.57, sqlite3, ICU4C headers and tmux 3.0, and the setup command ends in gt doctor --fix; unsandboxed workers follow. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 5.8 | Gas Town — Workers have persistent identity and ephemeral sessions, work state lives in a git-backed issue tracker, and merges go through a Bors-style bisecting queue with verification gates. |
| La Inversora | 4.8 | 5.3 | Tutti — A permissive local edition free forever beside an invite-gated cloud tier with no price is open core before anyone has decided what the core is worth. |
| La Jefa | 4.3 | 5.0 | Tutti — Free at sixty seats and macOS and Windows only, with no headless mode, so my Linux engineers are excluded and nothing here reaches a pipeline. |
| El Hacker | 7.5 | 6.8 | Gas Town — MIT Go, go install for gt and bd, git hooks as the propulsion mechanism, presets that include Auggie and OMP, no MCP; every moving part is a file in a repo. |
