Creating a code snippet or a macro or whatever has a problem in terms of
readability though. Let's take another example of syntactic sugar:
"using". I'm sure that Eclipse can add a try/finally block round my Java
code easily, but I'm *much* happier reading C# code with the "using"
statement.

Similarly, it's easier to read:

public property string x; // Or whatever the syntax is

than the "longhand" version, even if that longhand version *has* been
generated for you.

Typing speed is rarely an issue for me, but quickly reading and
understanding code often is.
