What's your preferred code generation tool in 2024? (programming.dev)

To clarify, I mean writing scripts that generate or modify classes for you instead of manually writing them every time, for example if you want to replace reflection with a ton of verbose repetitive code for performance reasons I guess?

My only experience with this is just plain old manual txt generation with something like python, and maintaining legacy t4/tt VS files but those are kind of a nightmare.

What's a good modern way of accomplishing this, have there been any improvements in this area?

T4, small scripts, text search and replace, multicursor editing if that counts, dotnet code generators

Preference depends on the context.

"Modify" isn't really generating though, so I'm not sure whether your question is clear (to me).
