Totally agree with Richaa here. I’ve used both on real-world projects and honestly, Playwright is the better option when you’re dealing with more advanced use cases — like downloads, iframes, or complex API mocking. One thing I love is how effortlessly Playwright handles flaky elements and waits.
But I still default to Cypress when I need fast dev feedback or I’m working on smaller UI components — especially with component-level testing. It’s like Cypress is built for rapid prototyping, while Playwright is more robust for full-stack E2E testing.
