minions.api("http://localhost:9777").addTask(
  function(minion) {
    minion.visit("/")

    minion.pressButton(
      ".go",

User 2354: [auto-declined message with prurient content]

Why

• you always get to a point when you want to pause the test and look in the browser anyway

• it works on any browser you want, so you can use it for testing too

• I will need it for screencasting tests, customer support, etc anyway

• iframe stuff doesn't work in zombiejs. In general there are holes in the zombie/jsdom coverage

• jsdom uses ES6. Also it is a nightmare.

• zombie uses ws which uses bufferutils which compiles stuff and slows down npm installs dramatically
