FWIW, about the only thing about clojure.test that I miss occasionally when using Expectations is 'each' fixtures for a subset of tests but the work involved in wrapping an expression in a try/finally with the resource setup and tear down I need is usually so minimal that's it's not even worth writing a macro to standardize the boilerplate (at least, it hasn't annoyed me sufficiently to make it worth doing yet).
