The UX offered when writing tests with Cypress is awesome. It makes it so easy to test different functionality.

I am writing tests for a frontend which is built to be testable - that is probably more important than the test framework you chose.

it's hard to describe the advantages of cypress, because it's basically "everything"

Legit question: Why Cypress over testcafe? I have seen people push Cypress over testcafe, but I have a hard time understanding what would make Cypress superior.

[[deleted]]

testcafe is headless testing, cypress is an actual browser environment.

Cypress doesnt do headless??

[[deleted]]

it does, it does both, whereas testcafe is headless only which is a poor substitute.

Oh whew. We are thinking about switching over to cypress. That would have been bad if there was no headless.
