I think that Eduardo makes object graphics more accessible than iTools
does, but his code generator has far less features than iTools.
I remember providing feedback to ITTVIS that I would like to see a
simpler implementation of iTools with less features, but easier to
understand.
Unfortunately, I won't use his code generator for two reasons:
1) The source code is not available, so I am a little hesitant to have
my development highly integrated with something to which I have no
control.
2) The code generated cannot be easily integrated into an event driven
program. I really need access to graphics objects from outside the
scope of scg_og.
Ruby on Rails is a good example of how to use code generation
effectively. They have things called 'scaffolds' which is the default
implementation of a module. You can then generate and tweak the code
for the module if your unhappy with the 'scaffold'.

P.S. I find navigating the codebank almost impossible. I can't even
find my own software in there!
I just keep tabs on new additions
