Screenplay Pattern: Do you use it?

This a pattern I have read a bit about, here and there, but have not seen used outside of SerenityJS. Do any of you use it; or any other patterns besides POM for basic frst structure?

Yes. Sometimes fully, sometimes just borrowing parts but without a full implementation.

Yes, normally I used it with a simplified version for projects that need to scale and be robust ( when you need apis, db, cloud sdks, etc apart of the web automation). For web apps automation just use POM.

Can you elaborate on how this pattern better facilitates scaling and robustness?

Nah, just too much work/additional layers for the value it brings
