I love property-based testing, especially the way it can uncover edge cases you wouldn't have thought about. Haven't used Hypothesis yet, but I once had FsCheck (property-based testing for F#) find a case where the data structure I was writing failed when there were exactly 24 items in the list and you tried to append a 25th. That was a test case I wouldn't have thought to write on my own, but the particular number (it was always the 25th item that failed) quickly led me to find the bug. Once my property tests were running overnight and not finding any failures after thousands and thousands of random cases, I started to feel a lot more confident that I'd nailed down the bugs.
