Anyone using MbUnit instead of NUnit? What do you think of it?

I use it with TestDriven.Net (which obviously can also use nunit) and like it a lot. There are the reports that it generates, which ultimately are not necessary, but make it "nice" to find your failed tests.

It has a whole set of database testing helpers (like Rollback) which I haven't used yet, but I don't think nunit has those.

At the core, there really isn't much difference.

The one bad part is the documentation for it is in a wiki, which I find very hard to navigate.

Thanks for your input, Nick.

We tinkered with it today a bit. I love the rollback function, but I think NUnit either supports it or will support it in the future.

I've used it a bit. I had a problem with the GUI locking tested assemblies, but that was quite a while ago so I'm sure that's fixed. One nice thing about MbUnit is the graph test attribute. I don't remember the exact name or syntax, but it allowed you to run multiple sets of values against the same test. That was nice. I think the ExpectedException attribute was a little cleaner/less typing.
