Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
