I use code generators all the time and it has saved me a huge amount of work. I routinely generate 80% of the code needed to implement typical business applications.

Having said that, code generators are not all the same. Some are awesome, others are downright awful. There is an art to writing good code generators. Not surprising really. The same can be said for most other software.
