I agree with you Don that hints are not always warranted - yes, on a small dev system any execution plan is going to be out of whack anyway.
But avoiding them in general, I guess with performance problems hints have been the best quick fix, always. Fresh stats, sometimes. A missing index, sometimes. A correct hint 70% of the time rendered a query that screamed.
