Data binding is, of course, necessary for efficient data distribution.
The tool is excellent and can improve performance. It is equally important to understand what the toolkit generates, even at a basic level, in order to be able to effectively use the generated code.
The reaction you are describing seems a bit extreme. If the wizard can generate code that runs on ya, then use it. If you do not understand the generated code, then this is the next priority; find out what he is doing and why. In the meantime, you have a page that people can look at, no matter how it got there.
I am a little pragmatic when it comes to tools. You do what you need. But if after [insert the appropriate length of the internship] you still use the gen code and cannot configure or fix it, then you (as in the royal, not you) are lazy or stupid or both .; -)
OT: (almost) Never say never unless you want to lessen the impact of what you are trying to communicate.
