The framework promises good things. Just a little warning; there are a lot
of frameworks for testing. Let's not have a jungle of them in. If it does
something very good that is not done by the present ones go ahead. But what
about testng and fixture and xmlunit and htmlunit and .... All do things
very good. None do it all.

So if we replace all junit/mockito tests in one go, or if we have a clear
view of what to do with spock and what not, +1. otherwise -2
