And this is the point I'd have to 100% agree. I lead a very small shop where intranets is a large part of our business. That being said, if I would have to guess, I would say that 75% of my code was generated. Everything from common needed patterns (command, abstract factory,template) to validation (js, cfml or both). But it's something that is quite easy to do when you're delegating the 'best practice', but when it's a community agenda, not everyone has the same tastes.
Even for something as common as inserts, do you cftry/catch around every insert? even though you've validated the information? What happens to the information if the insert has failed? All of which would have to be considered if you're going to template generate NURD cfcs, (yes, wddx information, log error, email myself). It's a common scenario, but you'll probably find that a lot of people handle the above differently. If we all can sit back and draw up an rfc style 'practices' document in this thread, or another. I'd be quite willing to help. Ours was XUL and a couple of weekends. Even if it comes back to just generating stubs to be filled in later, anything would help. After you get past the humps of CFML, it gets really mundane to do the same things over and over and over...
