To be honest I'm not promoting the case for transactional replication as the best DR solution for all cases, so I don't necessarily disagree with you :). At my current shop we actually primarily use database mirroring for DR (esp for sharepoint databases). However if the DBA has sufficient skills and time, a TR setup can offer a DR solution with reporting capabilities, which gives added benefit so I can see the attraction.
