@dhh: I was really letting a little British sarcasm slip into the thread ;-) I understand your motivations for using Test::Unit and I'm quite a fan of it too (although MiniTest::Spec is gradually winning me over).

What I _really_take umbrage with is jamming aliases into core classes like Array. This is hardly a new practice in ActiveSupport, of course, but it's annoying when people write "Rails plugins" that, in reality, don't need to be Rails only at all.. they've just used stuff that's in ActiveSupport which one doesn't necessarily want polluting their non-Rails apps. I appreciate that this is a reasonably old argument but I can still joke about it ;-)

@epinault-ttc: There's probably more that could be done but I think Rails 3 does pretty well with RSpec. Despite DHH's preference and the default settings, RSpec seems to be the most popular testing library used against Rails apps and it's pretty trivial to get running with it.
