[rspec-users] Why RSpec?

[Amos King]

I wasn't thinking about a gun.  I was just wondering if there is some
underlying reason that I'm missing.  Is there a background structure
that I'm not grasping?  Is there a huge piece of functionality that
I'm missing?  Is it faster than Test:Unit or Shoulda?
