Playwright has some pretty good strategies for selection using positional locators[0] which generally feel pretty resilient. Not quite as ergonomic as Taiko[1], but still really good.

Both have good heuristics for auto-waiting that simplify interactions and make them "faster" because there's not as much wasted time doing manual waits.

I particularly liked Taiko + Gauge[2], but Playwright can also be plugged into Gauge and the ergonomics are really nice because then you can write "plain English" test scripts that translate into system actions.

I have two videos that go over both:

The Taiko link you posted doesn't work - I think it's missing an s at the end - here's the working link:
