preface: i think there are tricks that experienced selenium developers use to make test less brittle, and it's annoying that there are tricks for that.
At the end of the day, if you can't get stable tests using the WebDriver W3C standard [0], you are doing something weird and overly complex with your web application. End to end testing isn't going to give you an objective right or wrong every time, but it should make you ask the question "Why does this happen?" and the answer is usually "Oh, we are doing something weird".
