Code generators have a serious drawback. If you change the code, the generator becomes useless for maintaining that code. Then you have to manually fix many many pieces of code.

It is far better to create well-designed objects that you can assemble into a final product than to generate code. Then you use a builder to create the VCX. Look at everything else that is built except programs. It is composed of distinct parts. A factory can speed up the assembly.
