"Maybe it’s just me, but those 4 lines of code (complete with IntelliSense!) are much simpler than the 20 or so lines of XML. You’re using a big powerful IDE, so why not take advantage of it to set up your DI framework?" Yes! Yes! Yes! I couldn't agree more. Great post, Nate.

Most applications only ever need one kernel, typically created during startup. I actually have an idea in the works for automatic module installation. Basically, it would search through all loaded assemblies for types that inherit from IModule and install them into a kernel. I've also been tempted to create a static facade that would provide easier access to a kernel instance. I've avoided it because the purist in me thinks it's a bad way to go about DI -- since it couples all of your code to the static facade. I'll probably add it before 1.0, but with a warning in the documentation that There Be Dragons. :) You don’t need to (and in fact you shouldn’t!) create a new kernel each time you activate something.
