At the time I looked at it ert seemed to be the best. I do not
remember why now and maybe it is not so important since there are
alternatives now. I will not be switching now because the
modifications I have made to ert is really what I need. (If however
another unit framework gets included in Emacs I will try to switch.)
I think those who have been writing new frameworks should be those
that answers why they have done so instead of trying to make ert
better fit their needs.
