Advantages:

- Don't need to depend on a DI library, makes code more modular and portable.

- Faster application initialization time.

- Easy to navigate and understand relationships between classes, good IDE support.

- Easier to break apart and test parts of the application.

- Easy to understand, don't need to learn the intricacies of a complex DI framework.

I'm not saying there is no place for DI frameworks, although I do think they are overused.

I know it is a nitpick, but I see this way more often than I should as a main reason to prefer alternatives.

Finding out what gets injected is not particularly hard, especially when only the basic capabilities of spring’s DI is used. In that case it will be almost always the single implementing class of the given type.
