I have no problem with the language of BDD, and if it keeps people from getting stuck on the testing aspect, rather than the design aspect, then it's a clear win. On the other hand, there are plenty of people who have been doing TDD "right," thank you very much, and don't need to re-work their vocabulary to get the value out of it. I'm fine with that, too.
