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.
