I actually switched back to a plain elisp config file instead of having an org file loaded by babel. After spending about a year with an org-mode powered config file I felt like the surrounding "prose" just distracted me. The very few lines of config that required some explanation were easily documented with one or two lines of comments in elisp. After using it myself and viewing plenty of org-mode powered config files, I feel it's mostly good for people who publish their config files for others to read / learn. But for my own use it felt like just too much verbosity.
