FAQ misconceptions

1. Mocha does not require describe, etc to be in the global namespace; the default interface (bdd) does, however. It is one interface amongst several.
2. Mocha provides TAP output as an available reporter but is not otherwise tightly bound to TAP.

1. is a common misconception, but I'm not sure where 2) came from.

Addressing bloat and performance are two issues on Mocha's radar. Would appreciate any suggestions or assistance!

Thanks. Looks pretty cool 👍

Ok, I've clarified it in the readme, but the reality is that most people just use the default interface. The TAP part is regarding node-tap/tape, not Mocha. Feel free to do a PR if you think anything else could be said better or something. I'm not trying to bash on Mocha. Just my opinion on it. I was a happy user for a long time.

Thanks. I don't expect everyone to be in love with Mocha; it has some fundamental flaws that need addressing. If we end up stealing some of your ideas, please consider it flattery. 😄

Please do. I would like to see Mocha improve too. AVA is not for everyone. Most will continue using Mocha. I'm just trying to move testing forward for everyone :)
