True, but cucumber is useful for lots of different kinds of projects.
I'm currently using it to build a java webapp, so I don't need much
beyond cucumber, selenium, and selenium-client.
I'm curious, with your current setup do you insert data directly into
your database (i.e. in Given steps) or do you always use the selenium to
enter in data. Meaning, if you needed a user to exist so you could have
them log in.. do you use ActiveRecord, or something similar, to create
the user or do you use the webforms to create the user? Also, how do
you handle cleaning the database after each scenario? Sorry, for the
questions, but I'm curious how you've solved these problems when using
Cucumber to test a non-ruby webapp.
Thanks,

But agreed, if I was in rails-land (sigh) then I'd want webrat and rspec-rails.

p.s. I'm aware webrat works without rails, but when I looked it didn't
seem a big boost for our kind of app.

Presumably you only need these if you are *building* cucumber?
If you just want to use cucumber, it should be as simple as "gem
install cucumber", and it should get all the other dependencies. On
my machine it seemed to install treetop, polyglot, and presumably a
few others - but I don't have rspec-rails nor webrat.
rspec(-rails) and webrat aren't actually *required* by Cucumber -- you can
use it without them, which is why they're not force-installed. However,
nearly every example you're going to find of Cucumber run against a rails
app is going to be using webrat and rspec-rails ...
