The issues I have with the more procedural frameworks is that you are
increasing your code base and thus maintenance.

For example

set_terms_of_use_checkbox
clear_terms_of_use_checkbox

Will wrap the same object in two methods

Whereas this:

gmail.sign_up_page.terms_of_use_checkbox.set
gmail.sign_up_page.terms_of_use_checkbox.clear

Is one object with two different methods operated upon it.
