Manjo, I think there is considerable benefit in keeping certain APIs similar between ClojureScript and Clojure. In places where the intent is the same I would suggest going with a familiar API. I took this approach with enfocus by basing it on enlive. It sped up my development because I didn't have to ponder if the semantics were usable. In the places where my feature set didn't line up, I found myself working and reworking the apis because they weren't clean enough or they seemed confusing. All of that being said, ClojuresSript is very young and I don't think we have a right way to do things yet. Right now I would be willing to try any testing library regardless if it matched Clojure.
