This is just a quick post since I have not posted in a while. I don't really have anything new to say really, just to reiterate how great I think the library bacon is.

I have been using it for just over a year now, and it is the perfect balance of speed, and understandability.

I was looking at rspec 2 yesterday, but there seems to be tons and tons of code doing what essentially bacon is doing in just 350 lines of code. And I have read that it is slow to execute. And while I shouldn't take something that I have just read rather than testing it myself, in this case, from all the code I have seen in the repo, I am going to assume that it is accurate. 

Anyway, Bacon, Capybara, Cabybara-webkit, dm-sweatshop, and a couple other things make up my perfect testing web stack. 

Bacon is like the test-unit of spec frameworks, light, simple, does just what you need, nothing more.
