why not use a quickfix window?

skwp / vim-ruby-conque

Vim plugin to display ruby, rake, and rspec output colorized in ConqueTerm. Note: repeated runs of conqueterm may cause it to eat your shell ttys. I am no longer maintaining this.

why not use a quickfix window? #6

Why would you choose to open a buffer instead of a quickfix? And why the result window stay in insert mode? I think normal mode would be better.

The insert mode is ConqueTerm's thing and I haven't been able to figure out how to make it exit. I suppose I can send an esc to the buffer..will try that

As far as buffer vs quickfix, this is again ConqueTerm, which is a fully running shell within vim. Which is great for when you have longer running tests so they don't block your UI. If you want something that uses quickfix, I think maybe Specky does but not sure 100%.
