From DHH, creator of Ruby on Rails and best-selling book author:
Cucumber makes no sense to me unless you have clients reading the tests. Why would you build a test-specific parser for English?

From Aslak Hellesoy, the creator of Cucumber:
If all you need is a testing tool for driving a mouse and a keyboard, don't use Cucumber. There are other tools that are designed to do this with far less abstraction and typing overhead than Cucumber.

Cucumber is a facilitator to help organisations to start having conversations and collaboratively share knowledge. ..., As a test tool it sucks.
