But so is hardhat, right?

Yeah, but hardhat is not perfect and the JavaScript based testing workflow is a nightmare and has following issues:

• So much boilerplate
• Context switching: The mental gymnastics of switching between two different languages to test the same functionality is like having a penguin as your co worker, you might think it’s exotic and adds value. But it doesn’t.
• It gets complicated real fast.
• Its painfully Slow for complex tests, you are still making RPC calls behind the scenes And no, adding typescript to the equation doesn’t help.

Simply put, working with JavaScript to test solidity is like trying to put out a fire by blowing at it, it works for a small fire, it gets increasingly difficult to put out as it gets bigger. And before you know it, you’re out of breath and in tears wishing there was a fire extinguisher all along. DappTools is the fire extinguisher. It can help you fix bugs in your smart contracts that can cost you millions of dollars.
