Fighting the IDE is not a good idea.  It's only inserting stupid shit because
your stupid shit language demands it.  That and "best enterprise practices".  If
you waste time and energy removing boilerplate that is the very goal of an IDE,
you'd rather just use a simpler language and straight text editor... of course,
if there's no bossy whip behind you...
