I own several apps that I wouldn't be able to maintain by myself without good end to end tests. The nice thing about cucumber is I can come back to a test a year later and instantly understand what it's testing for at a requirements level vs. having to reason through the gnarly details of what it actually does, then work backwards to the original requirement.

It shines the most in gnarly login/sign up flows that always evolve into all kinds of weird edge cases over time.

Yeah, its good to point out that the people who need to think in Business Requirements rather than implementation detail terms are, often the same people, at different moments, especially on smaller teams (or teams that do something closer to Manifesto-and-principles-Agile, rather than bureaucratic-cargo-cult-Agile.)
