Nested examples in RSpec
Very surprised to see this (there always seemed to be a bit of resistance to the idea from the core devs), but very happy too as it will make for some much more readable specs.

Things I'm looking forward to in Git 1.5.4
Colorized test output, and support for SSL/SMTP-AUTH. Also hoping that the patches for adding colorized output to git-add --interactive make it in.

Rails release candidate
The first official release candidate is out. Not upgrading just yet because I haven't even gotten a proper Rails development environment set up on Leopard yet (MySQL being the road-block there; haven't been able to build from source yet and I prefer to wait for the MySQL team's next release).

Why I don't like installing plug-ins
An example of why I try to keep the number of installed plug-ins down in a Rails application. It's all too easy to see a "neat feature" and think, "Great! It's a one-line install!", but the code is unlikely to be as closely vetted as the core Rails codebase itself.
