Problem solving is fun, and programming is a convenient way to access a large class of problems and express solutions to them. When the problem solving bit is done, the rest is just typing. I'd rather spend more time solving interesting problems and less time typing. Not to mention that I am likely to make mistakes while I'm typing up my solution. I'd rather not have to waste time chasing errors I've made that could have been avoided. Instead, I would rather spend time fixing errors in my solutions to problems, or looking for even better solutions.
