I definitely agree; the author clearly thought no on-disk produced code was a feature, but it makes me nervous. Similarly, the author then goes on to say how the framework supports circular dependencies between manifolds, or manifolds that each modify one another's types ... and I immediately think that will create debugging nightmares.

In most cases, the devs that should be concerned about debugging generated code are the authors of the generator. If there are bugs in released code, consumers of the API should file against them. In any respect, as I mentioned in a previous comment when a resource is selected you can view its generated source via Edit | View Java Source.
