Have you ever tried anything that provides real, usable refactoring like Eclipse does with Java? I guarantee if you used it more than a few times your view would most likely change. The fact is, code evolves. You simply cannot write high-quality software in one pass. Good refactoring tools save time, and therefore money. I sure wouldn't hire anyone who thought otherwise...
