[TYPO3-ect] Controller Configuration

[Jan-Hendrik Heuing]

What is this about?

I think it is about rapid and flexible development, not about making extensions as much comfortable as it can be for other developers. At least that's not my goal. In my daily work, I want to get tasks done fast but well done. 
So I think it's still fine to configure extensions via TS, even to do that in detail (generating images etc), but I would not try to move things to TS while they are better hosted in your PHP scripts...

At least that's my opinion...
