VTP is the greater evil, no question in my eyes. We roll out
configurations with a bash-script using SNMP og netConfigSet, and
pushing it to many switches is no problem this way. We have scripts
comparing running configurations with exptected parameters for various
things, so we know where we have mis-configurations. (Getting around to
fixing it is another matter.)

So if the network is large enough for chores like this to be tedious you
probably have/want a general configuration tool anyway.
