The mocha-html-reporter package has the following problems:

It not able report about failures only. If your project has many tests, it is difficult to find the error among thousands of passed tests.
It able to return HTML-report only in console. There is no way to write to a file if your tests writing something to stdout.
It requires concatenating result with head.html and tail.html to build report with styles and scripts.
You can't move file with HTML report: styles link to CSS-file in node_modules.
It does not show execution time for slow tests.
