For the last 2 days I have implemented Resque into 3 of our products. Of that time, only about 3 hours were actual work, the remainder went for setting up Resque. I picked it originally for its rich ecosystem.

But the plugins do not work well with each other,
- Scheduler won't play nice with Status
- Spec lacks features
- Retry creates exponentially growing jobs with the current version
- a lot of plugins use monkey patching that leads to weird results

Wouldn't it be time to collect a handful of the most used plugins, merge them into Resque and write proper specs to make sure they all play well together?

Just a thought,
Ray
