I agree. It's not so much "saving time" as when you are in a state of flow, you want to remove anything that slows you down from converting what's in your head to code.

I notice that when I am totally in the zone, I start to get frustrated quickly when tools take longer than normal or stop working correctly. You have a map of where you want to go and have the mental acuity to do it, but when tools get in your way, it takes you out of the flow.

exactly. A tooling kerfuffle can really kill my vibe.
