I always found it a bit useless to be fussing over phrasing like this. What does it matter if we call it

expect(x).to(equal(y))

or

x.should_be(y)

or

assert_eq(x, y)

These are just different ways of saying the same thing. The first two aren't really better than the last at conveying what's going on.

Although I like Ruby and Rspec, this desire for "beautiful code" and "making the code read like English" never rhymed with me.
