Devs, any plan to merge https://github.com/philwebb/spring-boot/blob/771ae1c8ad2796eaa1ce0b8b226dc325cbc9d4b9/spring-boot-test/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/test/mvc/MvcResultAssert.java into Spring Boot tester? MvcResultAssert is awesome. :)

@linux-china We're still considering what to do. The worry is that an alternative MockMVC might be confusing.

This would be great for us, since we have completely moved from Hamcrest to AssertJ, and now MockMVC is bringing Hamcrest back through the back door.

For a project I also want to move from hamcrest to assertj.

The project uses Kotlin which makes it also a bit nasty to use the is matchers.

It would be nice to be able to use AssertJ assertions with MockMVCResultMathces.

+1, AssertJ support would be great
