This is how I felt when I moved from CF to rails.  I learned so much from the 
first few apps I created, but testing was something that didn't come easy to 
me.  Now that I've found cucumber, testing is a cinch.  Here's a typical 
feature/test file.

It's amazing to me how natural the language feels.  It's very easy to stub out 
exactly how you app should act and then program it to do exactly that.  It's 
cut out a lot of the analysis paralysis that I used to suffer from.

It's also amazing to me how good it feels to have an app that's got a full test 
suite -- so now, I *know* that when I add a feature, it's not screwing up some 
other piece of code.
