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.
