Used it extensively for a while. I think all in all, it's a nice, mature framework. The Gherkin stuff is completely optional, I'm not fond of it and never used it. Using Python, you can create a custom DSL tailored to your needs, so that you can write tests in a tabular form. All your tests will need to adhere to this rigid tabular structure. Whether this makes sense, entirely depends on the circumstances. Compared to just using pytest, I think the main advantage is that tests can also be written and extended by people who are not familiar with Python. So if you have a separate QA team with people who are not programmers, this might make sense. Also, I did like that this rigid tabular structure made all tests very much alike, whereas when using pytest, you often end up with a hodge-podge of different ways to test things and people re-inventing the wheel all the time.
