title: Is there a benefit to using a specific language with Selenium WebDriver?
body: <p>As I begin to make the leap from the Firefox <strong>Selenium IDE</strong> to <strong>Selenium 2</strong>, I'm realizing that a significant portion of tutorials, guides, books, and documentation regarding <strong>WebDriver</strong> is based in <strong>Java</strong>; <strong>C#</strong> seems to take a somewhat close second. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Is there a benefit to one language (C#, Java, Python, Ruby) over the
  other?</p></li>
  <li><p>Does the chosen <strong>IDE</strong> (Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc.) of the language play a significant role in its application of Selenium 2?</p></li>
  <li><p>Should the language of the project being tested play a pivotal role in determining what language is chosen to run Selenium 2 in? (In other words, if the dev team is writing in C# .NET should I, the SQA dev, run WebDriver in C# too?)</p></li>
  </ul>
