This is generally how I feel about raisins in things:

I do not understand why you feel the need to put raisins in my muesli/scone/cookie/salad. They were acceptable without raisins. If I wanted raisins I would buy a box of raisins.

There is only one thing I find actively improved by the addition of raisins, and it's oatmeal-raisin cookies.

In most other contexts, I'm either I'm mostly to raisins but would prefer them to be some other kind of dried berry, like cranberry or blueberry/bilberry, (this is true of salads and rice dishes, as well as scones/bagels), or would definitely prefer them not to be there at all (e.g. muesli).

I'm more benevolently disposed towards golden sultanas, but maybe because they tend to pop up less in contexts where I would prefer to avoid raisins.

This poll and responses (very strong responses! Nothing lukewarm in that text box) has clarified fir me that it is Undeclared Raisins which offend my sensibilities.

I agree that most other dried berries are superior to raisins.

Objecting to undeclared raisins makes a lot of sense to me!
