Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
