Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
