Hi Kenneth,
Thank you very much for this point I find it very valuable, and I will definitely use it as the only exception for putting configs outside of PHP code. On the other hand, I complained as well that yaml or XML files are used for defining relations between object, as well as annotations.
Thank you once again for spotting this.

Hi Damjan, I agree 100% about not defining classes or relations inside XML or YAML files, or any other file other than a .php file. I don't have much experience with frameworks that work this way, but it would probably drive me crazy to have to work in that manner.
