Just often enough that it is useful in saving someone from having to generate lots of stuff by hand. Remember that the goal is not to produce a working, correct program, but to produce something that saves the developer some time in the process of getting to that working, correct program. If it works on 70% of the situations and I've got to go in and fix a compiler error on the other 30%, I still got 70% of my work done for me and probably 90% of the remaining 30% of the work done on the stuff I have to modify. That's not a bad deal, is it?
