The grunt work needs to be done.

You can do it, or you can let the IDE do it for you.

I suggest reading the Mythical Man-Month which explains a number of 
practices you have advocated in the past and why they are problematic.
I fear you won't find any newer books even mentioning them because for
the most part programmers today don't even know what they are.
