Of course I do Rick... YOU HATE ME!! :)
Seriously though... I do agree with much of what you say... I've always been of the "get those stupid XML files away from me and just write some CODE!"... I guess my mindset is changing a little bit lately as I see more the benefit of the declarative approach.
One more point to add to this...
In my environment, we have a rather convoluted change management process in place. Any code that gets deployed to production takes on average 96 hours to get through it all. Painful to say the least. This isn't exactly unusual in large enterprise environments (maybe not quite THAT long though!).
However, the people in charge of that process DO NOT have a problem with me changing config files and restarting the app any time I need to. So, for me, the more that is declarative the better.
Certainly not every place is like that, it might even be the minority, but its not unheard of. Something like this could be a big help.
