Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
