I'm currently having surprisingly little pain from using Robot Framework
to write Selenium tests: http://robotframework.org/

I don't know if it adds implicit waits in the right places, or if it
gently forces me into nice abstractions, but so far I like it much
better than dealing with selenium.webdriver directly from Python.
Almost no non-deterministic failures so far.
