Hi!

Just for background, I didn't managed to come last meeting, however I
have used Cucumber with one project long time ago.

I agree and personally also not very big fan of cucumber's extra layer
especially when writing code for startup or very agile project with
small team.

However have you considered to use Steak with Capybara/Webrat instead
or got burned with it as well? At the moment imho Steak looks quite
reasonable middle ground where I still have a nice acceptance testing
suite with pure ruby syntax.
