Spoilt for choice (reloaded) - Cypress, Playwright or WebdriverIO?

After many years of Selenium and then Cypress dominating the market for web testing tools, new players are now entering the field. With Playwright and WebdriverIO, Cypress in particular is facing strong competition. Both are not only positioning themselves in the field of End2End testing, but also occupy the field of component testing. They are also on a par with Cypress in other respects.

Web developers are once again spoilt for choice. Which tool is best suited to their own working methods, project and software product? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents? And can existing test suites be easily migrated to another tool? We take a comparative look at the three opponents and demonstrate their capabilities in action.
