Well worth it, but running selenium tests against IE using DOM
accessors (div[2]/table[2]/tr[1]/td[2]) can be painfully slow. CSS
accessors are recommended for reasonable speed.

If you need to test file upload/downloads, then a daemon based on
Win32::GuiTest is handy to type filenames into browser file dialogs
(can't be done from javascript). I've attached one we use in our
vmware windows selenium snapshot.
