Every profession has changed and so is programming. The days of hard coding in less advanced text editors is over. Years of debugging effort is now replaced with instant error hinting in advanced code editors like Visual Studio .Net, Eclipse, NetBeans, you name it.
One coder told me lazy coders code using those tools. I asked them to tell me if they will say doctors are lazy when they technology to diagnose patients, and do their various maneuvers.
If developers spend centuries thinking about what others do and make it easier for them to do it, what's really wrong with developers simplifying the tasks they always do.
Getting current means using the current technology to speed up tasks. I had rather used technology to speed up meeting deadlines than waste a whole lot of time doing things the hard way.
Who cares. Software engineering is about meeting crazy deadlines. It's not about spending centuries doing tasks which will take someone 2 seconds to accomplish.
I will continue using technology to the fullest.
