Agreed.
The big differences between the two are
- Cross browser support
- watir has none, as mention above it is IE only (not an issue 'back
in the day' when it originated and IE had 90% of the market share)
- watir-webdriver supports pretty much anything webdriver supports,
Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari, iOS, Android etc
- How IE is 'driven'
- watir-classic uses windows exclusive stuff (pretty old stuff,
WIN32OLE? (presuming my memory of that is correct) to drive IE
- watir-webdriver uses webdriver to drive IE
To the extent that watir-webdriver has issues with IE, very likely ANY
other webdriver based tool, Capybara, Selenium, will have the very same
issues
