I dev in Ruby also, but the features, stories, and scenarios in Cucumber can read fairly well, even if the step definitions make it tougher than it would appear to be. Agreed that Steak is simpler overall. Cucumber could have used the time spent supporting LOLZ on something more useful: OH HAI: STUFFING MISHUN: CUCUMBR I CAN HAZ IN TEH BEGINNIN 3 CUCUMBRZ WEN I EAT 2 CUCUMBRZ DEN I HAZ 2 CUCUMBERZ IN MAH BELLY AN IN TEH END 1 CUCUMBRZ KTHXBAI step implementations: ICANHAZ /^IN TEH BEGINNIN (d+) CUCUMBRZ$/ do |n| @basket = Basket.new(n.to_i) end WEN /^I EAT (d+) CUCUMBRZ$/ do |n| @belly = Belly.new @belly.eat(@basket.take(n.to_i)) end DEN /^I HAZ (d+) CUCUMBERZ IN MAH BELLY$/ do |n| @belly.cukes.should == n.to_i end DEN /^IN TEH END (d+) CUCUMBRZ KTHXBAI$/ do |n| @basket.cukes.should == n.to_i end (from http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2009/cucumber-introduction/ http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2009/cucumber-introduction/ )
