Firefox 55 and Selenium IDE

All you said is true, but this doesn't stop Selenium IDE of being a valuable tool. You just need to know when to use it. Without it a lot systems in my company would have zero tests. Not even bad and fragile ones.

One could argue that bad or fragile tests can be more harmful than having no tests at all.

Exactly, there is a degreee of flakiness beyond which you don't gain much assurance from your tests and you spend more time fighting fires in the testsuite than actually testing your app.

When exactly is that ? Never ? That clusterfuck of generated code is useless.
