I've tried using the built-in recorder myself a bit while it was in Canary, and here's my take:

- The experimental Chrome recorder is only for Puppeteer, so if you like Playwright, you're out of luck. (imo Playwright's ergonomics are way more refined than Puppeteer has and is the way we'd want to be writing tests in the future)

- The Chrome recorder introduces a _ton!_ of boilerplate code that's really bulky to work around if you want to maintain the tests yourself afterwards. I'm not sure what workflow the creators envisioned when they initially created the test generation system.

- You have to save the code to a file with the built-in recorder, you can't just copy and paste it into your editor, which is frustrating to me, especially if you're trying to record 1 new test into an existing file with a suite of tests.

- It lacks a few events you can create using the DeploySentinel recorder such as hover events, capturing screenshots, awaiting/asserting on text.

I think there's a few pros/cons to different tools out there, I've put together a side-by-side comparison here: https://github.com/DeploySentinel/Recorder#alternatives-comp...

The chrome built-in recorder is finally on Chrome stable recently, I'd say you should try it out, and then try out DeploySentinel recorder.

If you love the Chrome built-in one more, I'd love to hear what you think is missing!
