Making games is very visual. So yes, you do a lot in the editor. And as someone who also uses code to give initial positions and rotations: it is easier to get an idea how things look in a visual editor than with code. We tend to make visuals, visually. See Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender. There are others such as Substance and Houdini that use visual programming. Also visual, but also coding (much like UE4 blueprints) but you can see results throughout the code which is something that coding has a harder time with.
