Yes, in that sense I'm already an Eclipse Java junkie.

But there's also an argument that more code is more to read and maintain.
Stupid little get/set access functions add noise. They also add opportunity
for screwing up, such forgetting to call super methods.

Nitpicking? Me? Isn't that the raison d'etre of xml-dev?
