Recently, we hat to add some front-end tests for the admin panel of the product. QA jointly with front-end team decided to use Cypress. I think, front-end were already using it for unit tests (aptly named by Cypress end-to-end tests), and QA decided to piggy-back on that... I was involved with some automation process where I also had to touch the contents of these tests. Dear lord... I never liked Selenium, but this thing... it's so hilariously bad. Well, maybe I've not touched anything front-end related for a while, so I'm getting out of touch with the depth of stupidity modern Web development plunged into. But... if this decision (of blocking someone) adversely affects Cypress and helps them disappear, I will only be happier. This is just an insanely bad product with insanely bad ideas. I struggle to comprehend how something like this gets so much attention and so much work put into it.
