I understand where you're coming from Tom. But it's currently two script/plugin installs to start using RSpec with Rails, making it be three (the current two plus a mocking framework) is presumably not going to change adoption or the hurdle of using RSpec by much. I currently use Mocha because I can use it both with Test::Unit and RSpec. I have a big legacy of Test::Unit tests and I want to be able to maintain those and use mocking there, with the same syntax as in RSpec. That's why I don't use the built in mocking in RSpec.
