There's a few solid reasons I've heard for using Cucumber, although in my life I've not found a need for it yet. 1) Although it's a Ruby tool, it works with a ton of languages. Someone can write code based off Cuke tests in Ruby or .NET or whatever without much trouble. 2) it makes web workflow testing cake 3) it keeps people strongly out of the "implementation" zone when they are thinking about how a program should be properly executed 4) it works with many spoken languages so if you're collaborating with an international team it could be useful there. 5) it has a whole bunch of report formats built in If you don't find any of those features incredibly useful, I'm not sure you're going to ever see a need for it.
