Hi, Selenium maintainer here! Selenium is strong and very much alive. It might be true that some channels are less active than others, but if you go to our chat (either Slack or Matrix, https://www.selenium.dev/support/#ChatRoom ), most of the Selenium maintainers are there (including myself). One thing we are reformulating is to tell people to stop using Selenium directly and use a testing framework built on top of it, or a WebDriver based tool. If you are on a JS journey, we recommend NightwatchJS or WebdriverIO. Those tools have all the features you need for testing, and instead of dealing with helper methods to wait for elements, just use what those frameworks provide you. Happy to answer more questions and share opinions. More on reddit.com

I took Brandon Blair’s Udemy course. It was like selenium / python for beginners. He has another more advanced course using pytest. I though his course was absolutely excellent on teaching how to think about automation and how to know how to reference elements in a browser. Would highly recommend More on reddit.com
