Reviewer scorecard

“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“Solves the 'I need a queue but don't want to manage infrastructure' problem elegantly.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
