Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
