I suspected this is where we'd end up :) "Reasonability" is just as
subjective as aesthetics.
I really have a hard time accepting at face value the argument
"Assert.notEqual (or other shorter variants) is unreasonably long to
type/paste repeatedly". Hacking on Gecko you have to frequently type
much longer things :) I can certainly buy "it's longer than what I'm
used to", and even "incremental effort is required" - just not
"incremental effort is required and that effort is non-negligible
given other factors" :)
Sure. But the point is, what does the proposed change buy us to make
this "subjective" burden be worth it? That is what's not clear in this
thread so far. At the lack of a good reason to change things,
maintaining the status quo should be the default. ;)
