It seems to me a good IDE generates most of the boilerplate code I would need to write. For Java I use the community edition of IDEA, that's open source, it runs entirely locally and there's no lag. No open source code gets eaten and no forest get burnt.
I spend a vanishingly small time writing boilerplate code. Or so I think. Am I just not noticing it, or is it rare and I work with high quality code?
