Hey, thx for your comment. Yea for sure, unit tests are still extremely valuable. But if you re-think for a sec the whole testing scenario, those tests that give you the most value are those that integrate the entire thing, right. To simulate the user basically.

But then of course there is also developer experience (like how easy are those tests to write, how maintainable, how fast are they on CI etc...).

There's of course no silver bullet, but Cypress addresses a lot of the issues why previously people somehow tried to avoid those slow, costly, hard to maintain end-to-end (UI based) tests :)
