Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
