You aren't the first person I have heard say this. It's an under-appreciated way in which these tools are a game-changer. They are a wonderful gift to those of us prone to RSI, because they're most good at precisely the boilerplate repetitive stuff that tends to cause the most discomfort. I used to feel slightly sick every time I was faced with some big piece of boilerplate I had to hammer out, because of my RSI and also because it just makes me bored. No longer. People worry that these tools will end careers, but (for now at least) I think they can save the careers of more than a few people. A side-effect is I now enjoy programming much more, because I can operate at a level of abstraction where I am actually dealing with novel problems rather than sending my brain to sleep and my wrists to pain hell hammering out curly braces or yaml boilerplate.
