Whats wrong with magic in symfomy? Perhaps point out to him that at anytime you can go and see exactly what symfony does in its "magic". Also, I'd rather have symfony auto-generate code for me where a far larger number of developers have tested, used, implemented and stressed that magic code for bugs than my own implementation which will have no where near the same amount of tested use for bugs. Pretty much , anything symfony can do for me means less potential bugs. Try that on the lead developer
