I truly would like to see just one successful software company that started out by creating User Stories vs just simply creating and building their vision. Sure, plenty started incorporating all sorts of stuff much much later on. I haven't seen it be a significant initial contributor for the eventual success. Especially not vs simply doing. The vision defines what needs to be done better than anything else ever could. That said, some of the companies with the most budget out there (cough something from Redmond cough) probably use these sorts of modern "techniques" all the times yet manage to regularly fail utterly when it comes to basic usability of their products.
