LFE test runner or default EUnit?

Is the LFE test runner usage encouraged instead of the current EUnit one that rebar3 ships with?

It looks like it is meant to be used with lfetool which is now deprecated in flavor to rebar3.

I've been using the LFE test runner, and I'm switching most of the projects over to use it. It's not designed for use with lfetool, however -- it can be used with any Erlang or LFE tool.

In fact, the way in which I'm using it is by making the lfe-rebar3/test plugin a dependency in a test profiler. Then updating the make check target to execute this:

rebar3 as test lfe test

or, if I don't want to run the system, integration, and selenium tests:

rebar3 as test lfe test -t unit

All this being said, it's completely up to you :-) I prefer the coloring and output formatting of the test running (and using the rebar3 lfe plugin makes that super-easy). But others may prefer fewer deps and/or be used the the output of rebar3 eunit ...
