If you make syntax errors then you won't get to far with
<insert-language-here>. While it is possible to make syntax errors
with RSpec it's also possible to make them outside of RSpec.
Your experience may be different than mine, but I don't recall making
more typos in RSpec because of its syntax as opposed to making typos
in a variety of languages (irregardless of if its a testing
framework). But it's entirely possible that my memory is rewriting
history.

keeps me from test/unit, it's its cousins.
