Tilling?

So, I've been reading up on tilling for gardens etc. Some say its good, some say its bad to turn up all the micro-orgnaisms in the soil. What do you say? I guess I can see both sides of the story, but I don't have any real experience with it.

I say this because we took some of the weekend and pulled most of the weeds out of our garden. I'm currently planning on tilling up what is there to break up the soil and till in the weed roots that are already there. Then, come next year I'll just use the hoe to plant what we want. Ideas?
