Do you really think that what we do and don't have to think about today is at some holy division of things that are best left automated (e.g. garbage collection, platform independence, serialization) and things we have to do by hand? Why is this particular point in time special?
I think if you provide an IDE that solves everything it will become like a calc, when people stoped making mental excersices in favor of typing the problem and get the insntant result of it.
It's a spectrum. Now isn't special.
