I've always worked with OO, not FP. I dislike IoC for the same reasons. Also it's anti-KISS and debilitates encapsulation.

The worst effect of this kind of doing things is the image of programming that it shows to beginners. Programming well has nothing to do with that, really.

Agreed. There is a fine line on how much of this should be used. Teams can spend cycles trying to design everything based on IoC which might be overkill. All rules regarding keeping things simple should also apply to IoC.

Agreed, I think IoC is dramatically overrated along with AoP. There are places it can be useful but it can get so complicated so quickly it actually hinders the upkeep of the application.
