There is significant difference how Selenium API is used compared to Selenium IDE (for Firefox), as far as XPath locators of HTML attributes and elements is concerned. Selenium API requires writing of code to run it which adds
time to development of the tests so developer is more likely to be looking for repeated use with lower maintenance so yes XPath expressions might be avoided. With the IDE, on the other hand, the IDE itself provides XPath expressions
and tests are quickly produced and can be easily replaced rather than maintained so XPath is very popular, in my experience / awareness. With the API I'd think a developer would be likely to take time to separate between XPaths
and more abstract test descriptions (usually by abstracting away from the XPath perhaps). But like I say, there is still a place for XPath in the IDE; and important place. Cheers
