So I want to start using RSpec stories, but I am not sure where writing controller, model and view specs fit in. For example, you have the story "Logging in" with "User provides wrong password" scenario, don't you end up testing the same stuff than controller/model specs (response.should render..., user.should be_nil, etc.) So my ques...
In order to continue my dive into reading real code, I'd like to read and understand the source code of an actual in-use compiler.

Can you give some stories / scenarios that you would write for say a simple login application using BDD? For example, from what I have read, it seems that: “When a user enters an invalid user...

I can see that development would appear to be more "controlled" in this scenario, plus the scrum master would have a very accurate picture of what team member...
