It's probably just a matter of time. Because all software ecosystems goes through its phases of "maturity" regarding testing.

Not too long ago (in human-years, not internet-years). Most node packages weren't built with unit testing. Now its quite common in the popular packages.

Website UI is probably the same thing. After all, it took us a really long time till we got the whole HTML5 spec finally stabilised.

So you will probably see the tipping point occur over the next 10 human years, or less.

And just like you I been really frustrated with the inadequacy of UI testing tools, especially with Selenium. So like @donaltroddyn, I set out to develop my own UI testing tool (https://uilicious.com/), to simplify the test flow and experience.

So wait around, you will see new tools, and watch them learn from one another. And if you want to dive right into it, we are currently running close beta.
