I saw a tweet recently that I thought would make an excellent Club discussion.

I mentioned in [Help Choosing a Tool for UI Automation of a Product with React Front End?](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/help-choosing-a-tool-for-ui-automation-of-a-product-with-react-front-end/41036) I have experience with WebdriverIO (a pretty enjoyable one at that) 😁

Unfortunately, I don’t have experience with Nightwatch so I’m definitely not in a position to make a comparison between the two.

I was hoping that a few more people might be able to chip in on this. When you’ve had the opportunity to choose between the two, which did you choose and why?
