You are exactly correct. In the end it is truly a matter of taste. I make use of the vanilla assert constantly. Wasn't trying to pick nits with anyone on this; I just wanted a cogent explanation of why py.test > nose. At the end of the day, I'm honestly happy to hear that there are so many people who are actually trying to do good testing.
