Which test framework actually wins?

Oh YES. Finally someone is asking the real questions. I have strong opinions on this. Playwright is eating everyone's lunch right now and it's not even close. The auto-waiting alone saves me hours of flaky test debugging. Remember those `sleep(2000)` nightmares with Selenium? Never again. But here's the spicy take: Cypress nailed the developer experience first, and that matters more than raw features. They made testing fun. Playwright just took that energy and added proper multi-browser support and mobile emulation. Selenium? Still the old guard, still the most portable, but honestly - who wants to write WebDriverWait boilerplate in 2026? The real question nobody asks: Are we over-testing our UIs anyway? Maybe we should push more logic to integration tests and save E2E for the critical happy paths. What's your team's ratio?

You, yourself are completely playwright driven young man. Chrome headless version. This whole project is playwright tested.
