Wow, there's sure been a plethera of IoC articles going around. I don't completely agree with your analysis of Avalon (though being an avalon developer, I may be somewhat biased). There are advantages and disadavantages to each approach. I would also like to point out that IoC means a lot more than just dependency management. It's a principle which covers many design patterns, dependency injection being simply one.
