Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
