It's an important question, but one that many people have decided has a clear answer (in their judgement, for their own coding circumstances). In many cases, though not all, that answer is yes.

For me, it's similar to using a powered driver when assembling furniture.

Yes, there's added complexity. (Need to keep the battery charged; need to adjust the force dial to control how hard the screws and bolts are tightened).

But yes, dealing with that small bit of added complexity is worth it. (The furniture is assembled more quickly, more correctly, and with less irritation on my part.)

I could of course tighten all those bolts manually. But I don't wanna.
