yeah but how the hell do you even start to grok a code base without knowing how to identify the main entry point? This is what disappoints me with MS technologies like WPF where they go out of their way to hide the static void main.

You can abstract out how things are setup. If you have an inversion of control framework that creates all your objects and makes sure services get started in the correct order then you don't really care about the exact details.

yeah but where do you initialise the IOC container? ;) Also sometimes the magic breaks and you need to know how it works to fix it.
