Definitely in my case. I switced over a year into RSI and it makes a huge 
difference. 

I know a lot of Java coders who say 'use an IDE to generate code to save typing'
but i like to see what code is being written on my behalf. A tool to churn out
code smells like bandaid to a brokenly verbose language to me...

I prefer to use my keypresses wisely in solving my problem rather than nursing a
compiler.

REXML vs. JAXP. I rest my case.
