I have read several opinions about routing configuration in Symfony. I stayed with annotation
based routing as it was convinient for me to see the URL right above the controller action. This
was because by just checking the URL, I remembered the controlling code, as they always were fresh
ones. Well, until today.
I had to take a look into an old (Sf 2.0, last commit was about 3 months ago) project of mine. In
the same run Ive upgraded the whole project to 2.2 (it was a fast one, thanks for `JMikola@GitHub
<https://github.com/jmikola>`_ for the quick reply on my issue with `JmikolaJsAssetsHelperBundle
<https://github.com/jmikola/JmikolaJsAssetsHelperBundle>`_ again!). After that I went on to the
requested change. Now, finding a route in about 40 controller files spread between 3 bundles can
really be a pain! So Ive finished with annotation based routing. Its still a nice feature,
its simply not for me.
