It's always the same sole decision, fast development vs. quality, readability, extensibility. Drag and drop of controls and infinite code-behind files (quick and dirty) or modularity, patterns and practices (long term investment)?

In my honest opinion, everyone must invest in the long term way of coding. As time passes, the fast development is going to be of great quality as well.

However in case I didn't understand your inquiry, and you are seeking answers in terms of practical aspects of fast development, like tooling, code generators and other stuff, my opinion is to start using Resharper and learn as much you can about your IDE :)
