Coding vs Configuration

After a very frustrating afternoon trying to understand the configuration of ActionSets, Activities, Services etc - without success - I am wondering just how necessary it all is when writing a one-off RAP application. There is just the one plug-in and it will never be added to another plug-in set and will never have to co-operate or negotiate with other plug-ins.

So is it really necessary to do all this configuration? Can I do away with x layers of abstraction and just code the stuff I need directly? That would seem to be the pragmatic approach but I wonder what the consequences are are the project gets bigger.
