<jml> hey guys
<jml> we're considering switching to Selenium from Windmill
<jml> *considering*
<jml> do you guys love Selenium or do you hate it?
<sidnei> jml, it hasn't caused any trouble
<sidnei> free, i think there's a bug open already about not using confirm
<sidnei> free, the tests currently hang for me on ff4 because of it
<jml> sidnei: fairly reliable?
<therve> jml, it's Javascript, love can't be involved
<sidnei> jml, yes.
<therve> but it doesn't seem to be a problem for us, although we only

<sidnei> jml, we're using selenium 2.0b2
<jml> ok. thanks.
