“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
