any tool/technique can be abused/misused. some more easily than others. except you are developing for fun, you need to take ability to misuse (and the ramifications) into consideration.

productivity and maintainability IMHO should be the most important decision makers when choosing what to use. what tools allows me to be the most productivity as a developer? who easy is it for others I work with to change what I've developed? optimize later.

they are very successful solutions developed in a variety of ways. let's not forget that. arguing over what is best is missing the point.
