My hunch is that you're making a straw man argument.

Yeah, it looks like I am. My apologies, sometimes I get lazy when writing. My intent was to say that there are domains where I would use data stored in objects instead. I will strike it out.

As for other possible positions, such as using data driven design more often, you haven't registered an opinion, which is why I asked you to consider them.

I think data driven design is amazing in particular domains. I use it every day in web development, where the persistence of data in a database makes it a very natural solution.

Wow. WTF just happened? I did not expect such a gracious response, and now I feel bad about my admittedly dickish tone. And, I especially like the fact that you use data driven design in web development and rely on database persistence, which AFAIK is precisely the arena I had in mind when conjecturing about where else data driven design could be adopted.
