So we are using Jest for a quite large Angular application. We used to use Karma/Jasmine which was honestly such a pain in the a** that we needed to switch to something. Jest ist just awesome. It’s a lot faster and more stable than Karma. We rarely write kind of integration tests because they are just too slow, instead we just unit test component behavior and do everything else in real E2E tests with Cypress. I also use jest in some Python/Django SSR project to unit test JS and it’s also awesome here.
I don’t know about Reac/Mocha but for me: I completely understand the hype 😊🤷🏻‍♂️
