Protractor is maintained by Google

Well, that's a myth. There is only one person working in spare time on this huge project. It was maintained by Google but not now.

Just because they haven't updated it in a while doesn't mean still not the best framework for automation.

If they won't change their policy on maintaining it won't be the best framework. I'm just rising awareness of that problem.

Even better than selenium java.

There are more alternatives than just Java. I hope you can find time to investigate more tools for testing so you could see Protractor is not the best at the market.

BTW CodeceptJS should not be considered as alternative to Protractor, but rather a testing framework that leverages this powerful library. So maybe webdriver.io could be an alternative but don't see anything better tgan protractor.
