Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
