    I disagree. I’m a full-stack engineer, and every time I interact with our QA test suite in cucumber, I break out in hives. I hate keeping the gherkin feature file up to date with the test code, why so much complexity?

      Ah. Yeah to be fair I’ve only used it on personal projects. I’ve never had to use it at work. Maybe I’d change my tune after that experience

        Or maybe we just use it poorly. It doesn’t help that we use perhaps my least favorite language for testing: Java. I’ve written tons of integration tests, but we just used Python and unittest with some plugins to make output nicer, and it was pleasant enough.
