I've only been using/playing with it for a few weeks, but I find it more contemporary and less clunky than selenium. And it's lighter and runs faster. I dislike passing around a driver to tests and the playwright built-in testing (which I think is wrapping the expect library) is pretty nice.

I haven't fully made peace with the selector API in playwright, which uses a lot of experimental css selectors and a custom DSL, but these are minor learning curve issues.
