What's the plus side of annotations for entity description in Doctrine2?
In Doctrine1 & Propel (which I've used many times), reverse-engineering a database to create yml or xml, then generating the model is a very quick workflow.
In Doctrine2, choosing annotations, one must write a large amount of boiler plate code just to get the entities in place..; yet annotations seem to be the 'way to go'.
What am I missing?
