I read the paragraphs a little like "Spring has code-based config and xml-based config (careful with the xml-based config!) Guice and Dagger don't have xml-based config, so use Guice or Dagger". My gripe is with the hand-wavy treatment of why Guice/Dagger are better alternatives just because they don't have xml-based configs even though the author knows that people can use Spring exclusively without xml-based configs (this is why i said it was disingenuous)
