I agree in principle. But my personal experience led me to have static
routing on my home LAN.

If I enable DHCP I end up not knowing what IP address a 'new device'
just plugged into the network has, at any given time.

DHCP gives "initial" convenience, for "long term hassle". (say you
want to telnet-in to your ethernet enabled media player)
