Enzyme is falling behind regarding support of new versions of React (particularly React 17). Therefore, trying React Testing Library to see whether it provides a better overall unit/integration testing experience.

Enzyme doesn't officially support for React 17 yet and they don't recommend using React 17. Also, the project is maintained by a single developer at the moment
https://github.com/enzymejs/enzyme/issues/2429#issuecomment-858010582There are no plans yet to support React 18
https://github.com/enzymejs/enzyme/issues/2524#issuecomment-860784387While it's still an Alpha version, the fact that Enzyme is stuck at React 17 and the project is effectively under maintained, with just a single developer and a pile of issues logged, doesn't look good.
React Testing Library doesn't quite fit as a unit testing library, but at least it's in active development and doesn't break as much when new versions of React come up. Given Enzyme is falling behind almost two major versions already with no resolution in sight, makes it unsuitable for a project like this, partially aimed at using the latest tech for learning purposes while hopefully still building a cool app.
