I like Playwright enough that OpenAdapt uses it. Its locators favor roles, labels, visible text, and explicit test IDs. Its actionability checks wait for a target to be visible, stable, enabled, and able to receive an event. The trace viewer records the action, source line, DOM snapshots, network activity, and screenshots that make a failed run debuggable. Throwing that evidence away to make every execution surface look the same would be a mistake. ...
