The facility to write a behavior test, with the option to use a language less verbose than JAVA.

What I dislike is that it lacks tight UI integration. Some of our testers also complained about not liking Jython in particular, but that is subjective.

It is so easy to pick up and automate as a beginner but yet powerful enough to use coding skills to create tests

The control path creation isn't always on point when multiple containers are present and might move or if windows can pop up during the execution. Random excution pop ups can lso be a problem.
