That's just the tip of the iceberg.

 

 

- It's safer. If a developer codes 1000 Web Services and all of them require 3-4 checks, what are the chances of a mistake? Reuse? Yeah, it helps, but if a developer codes 1000 Web Services, what are the chances a security routine written specifically for the first one is applicable to all of them unmodified? And you're still writing code to make calls for all of those checks even if reuse is done with prescience.

 

- It alleviates developer from having to reinvent the wheel. Gimme ten extra hours in a project, I might very well solve the unsolveable.
