Developers want an end to end testing tool that reliably simulates real keyboard input and runs across all browsers
Two of the highest-voted requests on Cypress are about test fidelity: native Tab-key support pulled 1700 reactions and 94 comments, and full Safari/WebKit support pulled 1708 reactions and 206 comments. Teams cannot trust E2E tests that cannot tab through a form like a real user or run on the browser their customers actually use, so they fall back to brittle workarounds or skip whole test categories. The demand is for an E2E runner where real keyboard semantics and true cross-browser execution are first-class, not perpetual open requests.

Gap Assessment
Incumbent runners left these as multi-year open issues with thousands of combined reactions. Newer entrants compete on exactly this (real input + cross-browser), so the space is active but the pain is verified and far from solved for existing large suites.
