Be very careful of over reuse of step definitions, and of Transforms. You'll end up with code that's very difficult to understand as your step codebase grows.

I now tend towards minimal step re-use, lots of one or two-line steps calling into nice clean plain ruby classes which actually do the work of my steps.

I've blogged a lot about how to use cucumber well here: http://chrismdp.com/tag/cucumber
