It is important to understand why this happens. Watir started out as an experimental project. Some of the features were simply proofs of concept, or in reality non-proofs of concept, because they did not work reliably. Other parts have been made of commercial quality. I've thought about pulling out some of this experimental functionality that works intermittently and whose tests fail intermittently. But a lot of people are using this functionality. The best example is the javascript popup support. I've actually never used this on my own projects, and frankly would rewrite it and make it work more reliably if i did. But other people find that they are able to use it in the state that it is. Someday, i plan to take all the marginally working functionally and put it in a separate gem. People who want the old functionality can use it. And people who want stuff that is very reliable can stick to the core code.
