We are using Cypress at my workplace and we're quite happy with it. It also has endpoint mocking, mobile emulation etc.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any advantages of Playwright when compared to Cypress?

Playwright is just an API for controlling the browser, and appears to be far more powerful in that regard.
Compare the api documentation, and it's not even close: https://docs.cypress.io/api/table-of-contents
Playwright also has a python version (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python)
And I just discovered that they now have a real nifty debugger you can use to inspect/step-through tests as they run (https://playwright.dev/docs/next/debug/#playwright-inspector)
We’re working on plugging in playwright into a cloud service for visual testing @superadmin.so, running multiple browsers in Linux can be pretty hairy to setup.
