Definitely not going to argue with you on this ;)

I have been writing RubyCocoa apps with (almost) full coverage since a  
long time,
all my findings/hacks/helpers have gone into Rucola.

As such, I totally agree with you about having apps with a test suite.
But since there's so much work to do on this subject my priority for  
now would be to have a test suite for HotCocoa first,
so everyone can dive in and start hacking.
