FYI, Taza Rocks, Page Objects are the only way to maintain thousands of tests and develop fast. Everybody should study Taza framework. There is a wealth of knowledge on testing in there. Especially the way Flow uses Page Objects to accomplish page transitions. So if you have not downloaded Taza and spent hours studying it you may miss why Ruby is AWESOME for browser testing
