So I was trying to speed the process up a bit. <BR/><BR/>By the way, thanks for stopping by Kevin - I keep meaning to answer you on LinkedIn but stuff keeps getting in the way (as ever).Bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540002478471101536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239047.post-59629643436651411392008-02-07T12:10:00.000+00:002008-02-07T12:10:00.000+00:00rspec drifts in and out of favour with me.

I thought that maybe it was because I've been using assert-style frameworks for so long. Or maybe I just don't get the syntax of the apparently many variants of 'should' (give me a simple 'assert' any day).<BR/><BR/>Can you quantify what you dislike about rspec? (For me it's the unfamiliarity, and those "should"s.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
