We're currently building a site that uses Simple Commerce but we haven't gone live yet. Should I switch to Cargo? Is Simple Commerce going to effectively become deprecated? Does Cargo work with Statamic 5?

I find Dusk is quite bloated and becomes quite difficult to use in CI environments. As for Cypress, you get a nice UI that pops up and seems a lot faster and easier to deal with (for CI as well). I use this package to integrate Cypress with Laravel:
