Very true to all of this. I've read stories that completely snub he/she said altogether but then it's line after line of he muttered, he yelled, he interjected and that gets just as tiresome as line after line of he/she said.

The stories I've read that I felt had the best execution of dialog were those stories that did a little of everything. This includes lines of dialog with no dialog markers. ("What did you say?" "I said." Or "What did you say?" He turned to face his accuser...).
