This is interesting, but it looks like I have to learn another DSL, as well as figuring out how to describe my screens in CoffeeScript so the DSL can interact with them. I'm not even sure what the point of the intermediate layer is. Why not write the tests directly in CoffeeScript? Or even better (for those of us not infatuated by CS), why not just build a DSL expressive enough to interact with the screen directly?

For those not wanting to deal with yet another language/server, Square's KIF testing framework is really well done, integrates right with your project in Xcode 4, you can write your tests in the same language you write your code in, and you also get screenshots when tests fail: https://github.com/square/KIF

If you're going to require Ruby, why not just write the steps and features in Ruby too? Seems like overkill to require both. I do like the idea of using a screenshot as an assertion though.

Ohh using a screenshot as a reference point. Nice. I like the idea of using screenshots as a test assertion.

I doubt the naming is coincidental, cucumbers and zucchinis are both gourds.
