Always macros (but in VS.NET)
I'm a fan of wizards since Visual Studio 97. I hate wizards that expect to teach you how to accomplish tasks. And even more, I hate wizards that present themselves as the only way to accomplish a task. But I do love wizards that let you write more code faster. Or that give you a piece of code as you would have written it.
I'm not trying to say that wizards are a replacement for CASE tools or for code generators or so. I just look at them as a tool. Period. And I love macros too. Especially, VS.NET macros.
For quite some time (yes, since 1997) I minded writing new macros and wizards for VS. Here at London's DevWeek, I attended a presentation that thrilled me at that. The presenter was Francesco Balena--a good pal of mine. I think I'll spend some time to build my own collection of VS.NET macros just to speed up work.
And you? Do you have special macros to share or recommend?
