"Does anyone feel that way? Maybe I am wrong and the technology hasn't really clicked for me yet." No, I'm trying mightily to do what Yegge is talking about in the context of the programming work I do everyday. First v3 then v4. I've given up until maybe v7 or something. The problem is it doesn't have experience with my code-base. Sure, tell it to open a file and return a stream, it'll do that (after I fix the using statements), but for what I'm doing every day it doesn't even begin to know what to do. And because I'm careful about KISS and SOLID I don't really need a lot of simple code generation. I don't see 5x productivity. I actually don't see much advantage over the built in tools in VS. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, or maybe this make sense for people who write a lot of boilerplate, but that's not a lot of what I do.
