But apparently you CAN goof around with KLOCs of useless boilerplate and the added defects they imply [1].

I am fine with IDEs generating boilerplate.

I am not fine with maintaining it unless it is easy to navigate to parts of code concerning what needs to be maintained.

I live in a 20 year old MLOC land and whenever we need to add or change a subtle behavior, we go debugging for half an hour at best.
