This is entirely a matter of preference. The choice of how and when to convey information to the reader is important, and will help to clarify your [Authorial Voice](http://dearauthor.com/features/letters-of-opinion/authorial-voice/). Personally, I agree that it's too easy to overuse. It can be a crutch for some writers, and makes the work feel repetitive. It also forces weaker writers to Google synonyms for "said," as I just did, just so they can inject it into their work to add variety.
