Many, many years ago I felt the same about GUI driven IDEs (Visual Basic/Studio, Eclipse, etc). I remember learning woodwork at school and the teacher saying we wouldn't even be allowed in the same room as a power tool until we had shown competence with handheld tools. In the hands of the clueless IDEs allow aimless fiddling to eventually converge on a result and thus shorten development time by sacrificing code quality. IDEs caught on anyway, I think I was right to be concerned. I think you are right to be concerned about Hype but there is nothing you can do about it.
