Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
