I know a lot people may disagree, but I believe that using Cucumber is counterproductive as writing plain English text and then parsing it with regular expressions is somewhat overkill and error prone. I think anyone should use Cucumber only if they have a strong reason to. And some well known Rails developers such as Michael Hartl (Ruby on Rails Tutorial) and Aaron Sumner (Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec) are rather agree on that.

So far, I've been using RSpec for testing my Rails apps simply because that's what railstutorial.org emphasizes.--
However, I am in the process of trying out Cucumber. I like the fact that it's in plain English, and this is an asset for communicating with clients or other people who aren't Rubyists. Migrating to Cucumber sounds like a good idea.
I'm curious about what you prefer. Do any of you know Cucumber well, yet still prefer RSpec? If so, why?
