You are correct, only custom assertions will be broken.  I
was just using a lazy shorthand.

Ryan Culpepper developed the GUI (it is the Test button
that appears in DrScheme when you have SchemeUnit
installed).  It has a much better interface than the
text-ui but some problems of its own.  This email from him
describes the current state of the GUI:

Currently the GUI is broken.  I want to make regular
releases of new SchemeUnit code and don't have the time to
redevelop the GUI right now (and I'm hoping someone else
will; either as part of the PLT testing tool or separately
:)  So I intend to drop it from the 2.0 release and
redevelop it if I have time later on.  I'm a bit leery to
invest a lot of time in it right now as 300 will probably 
break any work done on 20x
