While this strikes me as neat, and a convenience especially in languages like Java, my reaction to it is similar to how old guys used to regard copy/paste as one of the worst things to happen to programming. We've all seen bugs that are the result of misapplied or incomplete copy/pasting where taking the time out to put it in functions properly would have made it obvious. So while modern IDEs make languages like Java less stressful on the keyboard in ever cleverer ways I kind of think by making this too easy we're missing the point of how to make better improvements elsewhere.
