But if the support tool gives you the chance to iterate faster you will find the solution faster. And the bulk of every solution takes time to code.

It's definitely useful, but IMO it's not 5x or 10x and of course not x1000 force multiplier. More like a very good and useful tool.

Iteration time is important but part of that is knowing and learning what to iterate. Therefore there will still be a human in the loop, and by Amdahl's law a 30% speed up will never produce more than a 30% performance improvement.
