Hi,

I'm reading the RSpec book and it makes references to macros from shoulda and rspec_on_rail_on_crack, but doesn't integrate them, simply describing how to write your own macro. I see there is the "Remarkable" project as well.

After some more googling, I can't make up my mind if I should use these with RSpec or not. As I'm new to them all, I'd like to hear some opinions/experiences in using them with recent versions.

The one knock I've heard regarding macros is that it can slant design to fit the macro's.

I use them quite a bit, and really like them - I factor them out of repetitive tests to make little DSLs for testing specific things.

Can you give us a couple of examples of what you're trying to do?
