Description

About Cypress:

  • They have recently locked out third party panels
  • They have disrupted existing users

Given the latest controversies about Cypress, I recommend we change the default to Playright since it's a much better tool, it's actually free, and its experiencing massive (deserved) growth.

I am not affiliated to Playright in any way.

If you are for the change, I will be happy to submit a PR and also change the default testing for create-vue (https://github.com/vuejs/create-vue/issues/418)
