It's funny to me that this is "Old Style" in your view. It's really
just another approach. Plain text is great for some situations, but so
is writing in Ruby :) Depends on the team, really, and how involved
the customer is in actually doing the typing.

Why would this be specific to scenarios written in Ruby?

This seems unfinished - was there more to this sentence?

I think this is just a matter of documentation. If we got rid of
block-sharing we'd be promoting much more verbose scenarios with a lot
of redundancy. I think it's here to stay.
