Code Snippets - friend or foe?

This is really a thinly disguised test of zoho polls - but also an interesting topic to me as I get back into development.

Code Snippets in Visual Studio 2008  have reached a level where they are very useful to "get the job done". However  in some respects they are "lipstick on a pig" - the pig being "Copy & Paste development" (mind you - the lipstick is very good stuff!). This short article by Danijel pretty much sums it up nicely. What do you think?

P.S. Check out this great 14minute video if you are unsure of what they are.
