Developers are lazy. Anything that makes development faster or easier is going to be welcomed by a good developer.

If you find it is quicker not to use it then you might hate it, but I think it is probably better in some cases and worse in other cases.

as a developer my first priority is whether the software works, not whether it is fast or easy to develop

I think we can assume that what daft_pink means by "development" includes that the software works.
