Nice to hear that BDD/TDD is doing well for you. I love RSpec's stories. Unfortunately in a land where using the Spring framework is a big risk (e.g. corporate software development), BDD is not going to be widely adopted, let alone seriously considered. Startups are for those who want to expand their technological comfort zone. Average companies in the other hand, they're fine with remaining average.

One hears the exact opposite argument too, which is that these techniques are suited for large/average teams in corporate environments and not at all for startups where people are talented and have to work quickly.

I work in a large corporate manufacturing environment that runs 24 x 7 with lots of money at stake, and we are actively moving to TDD/BDD.

I expected a much bigger fight from management, but TDD really aligns with the "Toyota Way"... not that I work for Toyota.
