Man, this project really grinds my gears. You know why? Because I'd really like to like it. But I can't.

Why? Because it took them until release 3.0 to include any support for testing at all. This is not acceptable in this day and age.

I tried to get testing to work with PlatformIO 2.x, but it turned out to be so much hassle that I ended up staying with my own build system, which I'd really like to replace with something less bad.

Now they have added support for testing - but they've apparently nailed us to a particular test framework. No idea whether this framework is any good - but if I were to make the switch to PlatformIO I'd like to take my existing test suite and my experience with my test framework of choice with me.

Grrrr
