It would be nice to see how this differs from SolidJS.

I'm a bit confused by the marketing verbiage and tool name. Is this going to target React only, or will it (eventually) support other solutions which use JSX, such as SolidJS?

Who would control it? There isn't just one "Linux community". There are multiple organizations that use Linux, and the ones that are well-managed tend to do the best. How would the key people behind Gnome and KDE resolve their differences, or any of the smaller projects? Should everyone just use ChromeOS?

I read this article and ended up with the exact same question. Does it mean that it wants to imitate Chromebooks, where the most important app you use is the browser, and all of your apps are in the cloud rather than on the desktop?

Perhaps you are right, and also then again perhaps those companies find that they have cause to file a lawsuit.

I'm not GP. I didn't make that argument. I agree that Amazon is not obliged to allow just anyone on their platform. Sellers must abide by the rules that Amazon sets in place. At the same time, Amazon must abide by the laws of the locations at which it wants to sell. So if a state says that they cannot force a seller to keep their lowest price on Amazon, then that's the way it is.

And Amazon needs to follow the rules and laws of the place that IT'S trying to sell at.

Sure, I can clarify.

1. I know GitHub stars aren't everything, but Playwright has 41.9k at the moment, and Cypress has 40.5k.

2. Playwright is backed by Microsoft, and given how happy I've been with how they manage Typescript, that makes it a pretty safe bet to me.

3. Cypress is much older, so I discount a lot of the blog posts in my evaluations. In fact, I count such things against it sometimes, because oftentimes when I'm hunting for a solution to a problem, all I can find are outdated answers. I run into this a lot with AngularJS and Angular.

4. Playwright is included in most of the recent comparison articles I've run across. I don't really keep track of these, but searching again I quickly ran across 2 examples:

  * https://blog.checklyhq.com/cypress-vs-selenium-vs-playwright-vs-puppeteer-speed-comparison/
  * https://www.testim.io/blog/puppeteer-selenium-playwright-cypress-how-to-choose/

Thanks for the answer! I'm probably personally leaning towards using Playwright for future projects, reading that. I believe Playwright may be passing Cypress in community size, and simplicity is subjective. They both look quite similar, from this outsider's perspective.

You recommend Cypress as an "obvious" choice, so I am curious whether you evaluated Playwright. If you did, why you find Cypress to be the clearly superior choice? Genuine question.

I refused to ever subscribe to cable television because of commercials, and I suspect I am not the only one. I never subscribed to Hulu, either, for the same reason (if they have an ad-free offering now, I've missed it because I stopped paying attention to them). I also will not use Netflix's ad-driven tier when it comes out.

Kagi (a search engine you pay for) has a feature called Lenses. One of the default lenses is for "Discussions". It's been quite helpful for me, personally, so far.

I think "tech company" is a near-useless label, anyway. I struggle to think of any company that isn't, or at least shouldn't be, a tech company. Everyone uses technology to provide their product or service, even if they are rudimentary ones. There are those companies that are pushing the boundaries of what was previously possible, sure, and if that's what people agree is the definition of "tech company" (high innovation), then surely Netflix counts. No one watched much TV on computers or phones before them.

I'm sure a lot of hard work went into this, so I mean no offense here when I give my honest feelings.

The big differences between v1 and v2 make me uneasy. I am reminded of the constant API churn of React-Router, or the complete change from AngularJS to Angular. This approach makes me very hesitant to learn the library, because I am afraid of having the choice of painful upgrade or a dead dependency down the road.

I am also wary of the library being VC-funded, because I am afraid of what kinds of features will be held at ransom down the line once they need to start making money.
