I think BDD has a terrible reputation because people associate it with Cucumber/Gherkin! And honestly, if that's all they've experienced, I understand and sympathize.

On the other hand, people seem happy with RSpec, Jest, Spek, Scalatest, and other spec-style BDD frameworks. Those still nudge people into thinking about testing use instead of implementation, which is the real value in BDD.
