Regarding spring, zeus and spork ...

Zeus works OK with rspec, rake, console etc. but we failed
to get it to work properly with guard (which I consider quite
useful for true TDD).

OTOH, getting spring to work with guard was a breeze and
is a real pleasure to work with:

(`time spring rspec` #=> 0.612 total
#*TDD*<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TDD&src=hash>)

I also have less happy experiences with spork in 2 different contexts
(I essentially turn it off after a while), not always seeing certain
changes.

So "spring" is the clear winner for me in this field.

HTH,

Peter
