What I also like in RSpec is that it constructs a name for simplistics specifications, like:

 
 context "Random number in 0..100 range" do 

  setup do
    @random_number = rand(100)
  end

  specify do
    @random_number.should < 100
  end

  specify do
    @random_number.should >= 0
  end

  specify do
    @random_number.should_not be_nil
  end

end

Random number in 0..100 range
- should < 100
- should >= 0
- should not be nil

Update:

I’ve played around matchers to make generated names work properly for be_ matchers (like be_between): http://blog.railsware.com/2007/3/2/rspec-generated-spec-name-for-be (and it’s accepted in rspec trunk now)
