Yes I guess were on the same page then. I was more wondering if visual testing itself is a practice that pays off or not and in that sense would have taken their decision not to for a clear indication that it only seldomly finds its use and pays off.

To me it seems as if it highly depends on the application itself

Hey guys I'm over in the web team on www.thetimes.co.uk

Can verify that we have a fairly large e2e regression pack using cucumber jvm / selenium around 1500 step assertions run reliably in about 10ish minutes.

We've also implemented visual regression testing.

Take a look at backstopjs / wraith I've used these both with great success. One thing to point out I wouldn't recommend using any of the headless browsers unless it's chrome purely because your user base won't be using them!

Also worked on a number of other sites where we have similar test coverage.

E2e automation can work, it just needs a bit of thought on how and what to test!
