This is how I felt about IoC as a junior dev 15 years ago, before I'd actually used it myself.

Nowadays the benefits are clear to me: more modular, testable code, and also lifecycle management.

Give it a try, you may well change your views.

I've used it a fair deal. I've found I prefer languages that don't require IoC to make code testable.

I agree that it's one of the sanest options when it's required, I just think that language design should incorporate testing ergonomics from the start.
