On larger code bases it can help a lot. You get to a point where you need that config object over in some random function and you start weaving it through constructors. At which point a simple DI system really appeals.

DI code also tends to be more pleasant to test in my experience since it promotes loose coupling.

I believe there are other ways:

And you should probably avoid situations where you suddenly need config objects in 'random places'. This could be a symptom of chaotic API design. But then again, whatever works for you.

Quite the contrary as repeatedly experienced in Java land.
