Reviewer scorecard
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“webpack compatibility with Rust speed. The migration path from webpack is smoother than switching to Vite or Turbopack.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“For webpack-heavy projects, Rspack provides the biggest speed improvement with the least migration effort.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
“Rust-based JS tooling replacing JavaScript tooling is the trend. Rspack, Biome, and SWC prove it works.”
