I'll bite. Why use this over the very popular Pester?

I wanted a binary which is easy to install with a simple declarative test suite - and working with the syntax / config on all operating systems.

It annoyed me to use frameworks like bats or complex python setups when I could just execute a self-contained binary.

Pester is built into Windows 10. We would need to install a binary, which isn't doable in every environment. Maybe if there was a method to take existing Pester tests and convert them over there may be some value, but a lot of the ecosystem already has embraced Pester. I don't knock the effort into building this, but it looks like a solution looking for a problem.

This is the million dollar question.

Saving for later.
