I couldn't agree with that more. As someone who struggles to do everything by hand and never wanting to spend the time learning how to use someone elses shortcuts, I find that a lot of time is taken up just doing the basic stuff. Although this makes me a better coder it has the undesired effect of making development time a lot longer.
Good advice
