I don't use name mapping or aliases anymore, losing all my work twice tought me a lesson or 2.... I don't understand when you say "But updating all the scripts that use them might be."... When I talk about scripts I leave everything name mapping related on the side...
If his application was stable, do you think he would be complaining about changes?
The time it takes to search for the object is minimal once you find the right parent and give it to the function. If it takes more than 1 second searching for the object from the page object, I just search for the most reliable parent and go from there, quite faster but not always needed.
I fully understand your point and as I said, it is just how I work, if you undestand name mapping there is probably a good way to work with it, I just couldn't find one that would fit my needs.
