if you do T/BDD.
Yes, is a hidden gem but also have is own glitches.
One is the lack of possiblity to actually quit gracefully (they need
to trap INT and properly stop the DRb server.
Patches welcome!

I couldn't resist.
Second and trickest one is reloading of the environment. Right now if
you change parts that are outside the reload mechanism of Rails,
spec_server will fail. Haven't had time to investigate into it,
sorry.
The other one is related to ANSI escape, at least on Windows.
spec_server takes spec/spec.opts and enable ANSI colors if the option
is present, but that still confuses script/spec -X and generate
garbage.
I've set up a vim script that runs just the current spec, where
"current" is
defined as "the last spec the cursor was on" (even if you're
editing the
model or whatever). Wherever I am, I can just hit Ctrl-X and see
the results
of the test almost instantly. Beat that, TextMate!
I use autotest, I just save the file and it's executed, then I get
the
total test results without distraction, beat that ;-)
