NUnit Assert.That Syntax Makes Assertions Easier to Read

While traditional syntax for asserts is fairly easy to understand (once you get used to reading it), it doesn’t read as close to English as I’d like. So I have taken to using the Assert.That syntax for a lot of my assertions. This makes an assert like this:

   1: Assert.AreEqual(5, SUT.Items.count);

Read like this:

   1: Assert.That(SUT.Items.Count, Is.EqualTo(5));

To me, the second assert reads a lot more like plain English.
