Yeah, there's many times I type "class for:" followed by a a dump of SQL, JSON, XML or whatever and it'll make a class with properties named correctly with the right types. I still have to figure out tricky data relationships and that sort of thing, but the boring tasks of creating interfaces to databases and objects for serializing stuff goes a lot faster now.
