Hi Saifur,
My opinion is quite opposite, but this is a matter of personal choice.
This forum and
http://www.sqaforums.com/forums/automatedqa-smartbear-testcomplete/?sort=lastpost&order=desc one are the most popular because they are visited by the SmartBear's Support (note, that these forums are not supported by the Support, support is provided based on the ticket created via

Do you think this is not good for the general-purpose product? (Note: next release, not next major version.) I understand, that for the products that are created/customized for one or several customers (e.g. ERP systems) it is OK to address every request from the customer and the sooner the better. But had you ever requested a bug-fix from MS, or Oracle, or HP (e.g. for QTP)?
Just wondering if you checked Selenium's issue base and how long does it take them to fix an issue or implement a feature request? Or you are seriously considering to fix very found problem yourself?
I hope that you will succeed with Selenium. For the sake of statistics, it might be interesting to count the time you will spend to setup Selenium and make it running, to find, setup and integrate the components to implement test logging and (more or less) convenient log navigation, to manage tests (something like test items in TestComplete), to implement data-driven approach and to do all other things that you will need to implement before your tests can be used as you like them to be used. Then convert this time into money (you may use your per-hour salary as a conversion coefficient). Then compare the obtained total with TestComplete's license price. Would be interesting to know the result. I'm serious. I don't have my personal exact figures, but indirect observations and talks to others make me thinking that the totals will be quite close to one another.
