As often, it depends: For example, currently Internet Explorer is not supported. Then you have to go with something Selenium-based like Protractor. The developer experience of Cypress is just amazing; it feels quite natural, powerful and I find it less fragile. Take a look at the official website (cypress.io/) and just give it a try. The initial setup and your first tests should take just a few minutes to hours. You could even use Briegbug's schematic for your Angular project (npmjs.com/package/@briebug/cypress...).

Thank you for the insight David! I will definitely give cypress a go for my next project and also the schematic :)
