Has anyone properly used #gerkin when doing #BDD ?

By properly I mean in a team, where the users/PO will write the desired behaviors out.

I tried way back when and it did not work. But I live the "promise" of it.

Subquestion, does anyone actually do BDD?

When writing #cucumber #scenarios, I find myself moving set-up to a #background, even for cases with one (and only 1) scenario. I find that it's easier to see _why_ the scenario has been written.
Is that odd? Do others do it similarly? Is there a better way to do this? #gerkin
