Recently, I got one reader’s feedback on “Why Raw Selenium Syntax is Better than Cypress and Playwright?” article. He did not like my style of suggesting Selenium WebDriver; instead, he preferred me to list ‘Pros and Cons’ that help the readers to make decisions.

That’s just my style: being direct with a specific suggestion like Facebook’s clearly named “WebDriver (Selenium for web, Appium for mobile) for UI Tests” in its Testing Pyramid.
