Robot Framework vs Pytest

I am a strong supporter of the Robot Framework. I already wrote on Habré that it can be used to solve almost any test automation problem, especially when development is in Python. In the same article, I mentioned that the company uses Pytest on related projects. I had to get to know this tool quite closely, so now I am ready to make a full-fledged comparison with the Robot Framework, of course, from my personal bell tower.
