Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
