A couple of years ago my company was in the process of purchasing QTP, an expensive testing product. I had suggested Selenium instead of QTP, but for whatever reason we went with QTP.
But we couldn't afford QTP licenses for everyone who wanted or needed to use it, so some people started writing tests in Selenium instead. Two years on, we're getting rid of QTP and switching entirely to Selenium. We're not doing it just cost reasons though, people just like using Selenium much more than QTP.
Hats off to the Selenium team for such a excellent tool!
