Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
