Typing doesn't take a significant portion of a programmer's time anyway. Automation on that half of the work is only so useful.
Checking the code on your screen against your internal mental model does take varying amounts of time. It depends on language syntax and how your mind works.
Different programmers internally think in different ways, it turns out.
In my case I found that I tend to look at the indentation primarily, and then I check parentheses and semicolons against the indentation.
(So in my case python lets me skip an entire step.)
