I won't argue that a great case has been made :) But I see inherent value in consistency (both in the implementations and in the user-exposed API) for assertions across our in-tree test suites (or at least, across mochitest-based harnesses and xpcshell). Do you disagree?
Not at all. I think what we disagree on is 1) how to address this inconsistency, and 2) what other things we should take into consideration while doing so.
I think what's being proposed here so far is being more consistent with commonjs testing API (which to me seems like a clear non-goal) by just adding a new API which will only be used in new mochitest-chrome/browsers but not in the old ones (at least not yet) without addressing any of the problems with the SimpleTest API that we are aware of, or any of the issues raised with it (the subjectivity of the reasonability of the API should not be used to dismiss mine and Boris' concern on that). So it seems to me like doing what this proposal suggests is one step back in terms of being more consistent without any clear added value.
