It all depends on how you interpret the original statement. Some bind
opponents claim that bind's zone file format is archaic or difficult
to manage or other negative things like that. The original statement,
"you still have to write zone files", could be read as meaning you'll
still have to deal with the "bad" format bind uses. If it is read as
simply meaning you'll need to configure whatever software you use,
then yes that is a correct assertion.
