I don't think there's too much difference between testing capabilities
of Robot Framework and Fit(nesse). With both of them the actual
verification is done by test libraries (or fixtures, depending on
terminology) and the framework is just handling reporting. I do agree
that Robot's reports and log are really good.

It's true that the framework stops executing a single tests when a
keyword it executes fails. These keyword can, however, internally do
as many checks it wants and decide when to stop. We are also planning
to add support to continue execution after failures in the future [1].
