In defense of Cucumber, I've been a rails developer for more than 2 years and I still find it easier to read English than Ruby. I think the extra layer of abstraction is well worth the effort when reading over other people's tests.

Have you actually used Webrat? It reads English with extra punctuation. Here's an example from a test I happen to have open at this exact moment:

    visit "/special_recipes/new"
    fill_in "special_recipe[name]", :with => "Pie"
    select "Test User", :from => "special_recipe[user_id]"
    click_button "Create Special Recipe"

The mind naturally skips the punctuation. It actually reads easier than some Cucumber tests I've seen.
