I do agree in general, but personally, testing has helped me reduce the number of things I need to care about to a manageable number. Additionally, tests are some of the best documentation you can have, and you need them to refactor. Finally, I actually really like TDD, it helps me to structure what I'm going to work on, and keeps me focus. So I guess I disagree with the OP, even though I do much of what they do in terms of actual application testing. I just don't think it's actually and either/or.
