Repetitive boilerplate isn't just "wrapper spaghetti code".
Repetitive boilerplate is what builds systems.
If I can make a model that has 50 lines and will generate 50 different classes, 50 files and 600 methods where I only need to fill out the expressions, that is writing code.
If I am going to say how it's all boilerplate and write it by hand, chances are I will have something nobody else will understand with bugs I cant remember or will have to rewrite the above by hand into a boiler-plate-like way again, which to me, makes no sense to do manually.
