They both do the exact same thing.  The assertion syntax is nearly
identical.  RSpec just requires that you type a lot more to do the
same job.

I personally don't see the need to type all that extra RSpec syntax
when I can type much simpler tests using Test::Unit.  If RSpec were so
great, why is it still not the default, even with Rails3?

What advantages?  They both do the _exact same thing_, the main
difference is the syntax, one is smaller one is bigger.  I'll stick
with the one that requires less work.
