I use Cucumber and feel pretty good about it most of the time. Having
said that, I'd love to see the alternatives other folks use,
especially as there appears to be a lot of very smart detractors - I'm
sure I could learn something, and as a proud rubyist I'd hate to miss
out getting in on the ground floor of the latest, short lived testing
trend!

Maybe we could avoid the loggerheaded frustration by having a few
quick talks at the end - "here's how I do integration testing and
(briefly) why"? We can save the inevitable fisticuffs for the pub.

Thoughts?
