I dunno. I use gerrit frequently and nothing in this article surprised me. Aside from "ML-powered woo woo" I've seen and used everything bragged about in this article.

Gerrit is awesome. I will never, ever go back to github.

Whether you're surprised or not or like Gerrit is beside the point. I like it too. I was simply responding to your assertion that Critique is a fork or derived from Gerrit, which is not correct.

They are two entirely separate codebases, built on two entirely different revision controls systems -- one open source, the other not -- with Gerrit inspired by Critique, not the other way around. Yes there are similarities be tween it and Critique. Because Googlers worked on both.

I miss Gerrit from my last job. Stacked PRs on Github are horrible. Lots of problems stem from that: because stacked PRs are painful, people make large PRs, because the PRs are large, they take a long time to merge, because they take a long time to merge you need more rebases, needing more re-reviews etc.
