Actually i didn't know about WatirCraft either. I know that i have heard about it, but i thought that it is doing something else... It is indeed somehow similar to my gem and i have also (maybe) a plan to add Cucumber support... i mean, there's not much to add as a support except just an additional dependency and require statement :P Anyway, ideas seem to be somehow similar indeed.
But about the name. Since i didn't know anything (i swear!) about the existence of WatirSpec name and didn't find anything on rubygems.org, then that's why i decided to pick a name called WatiRspec (notice that there's also difference in case). Since i didn't steal the name or didn't do anything else bad intentionally, then i feel that it would not be fair against me if you or someone else would force me to change the name because of these reasons. I'm not sure that name conflict can happen on rubygems... So, if Jari or someone else decides to release a gem with already existing name, then i guess that they should be the ones to change their gem's name. I don't see any other solutions here at the moment unfortunately. No hard feelings, i hope.
