Well, two layers of factory classes, one calling the other, plus a big xml blob is pretty Java specific. I'm open to to common counter examples in some other language.

There's inheritance, and there's overindulgence.

Interface based polymorphism is pretty useful. Been thinking more functionally lately, and can’t remember needing it. Parametric polymorphism ( aka generics ) are still useful for the immutable state graph.
