I guess I pretty much agree on the use of named parameters. Useful for the MS Office interfaces etc but designing a native .net method that accepts so many parameters that named parameters become useful would be counter-intuitive.

OTOH, IMO optional parameters *do* have a use and can often be a valid alternative to overloads
