I've only had a quick glance, but here are the reasons I won't be moving
away from RubyUnit to your:

- class methods used for test methods? 
  Feel a little un-OO-ish.
- strings for selecting tests. 
  With the nice reflection of Ruby, 
  it is easy to grab all the methods that start with "test_",
- I'm a sucker for standarization, and the *Unit frameworks' 
  crosslanguage similarities appeal to me.

YMMV
