If I put @Inject on a field it’s pretty clear what’s going on just from a quick glance of the source code. By contrast, I don’t know injection of some field happened _unless_ I take a gander at the XML config. And the debuggability of both approaches is the same, the injection manager is doing the same magic under the covers, only the configuration is different.
