The reviews

Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.

Helpful?

Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.

Helpful?

Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.
