The thing is coding can (and should) be part of the design process. Many times, I though I have a good idea of what the solution should look like, then while coding, I got exposed more to the libraries and other parts of the code, which led me to a more refined approach. This exposure is what you will miss and it will quickly result in unfamiliar code.

I agree. I mostly use it for scaffolding, I don't like letting it do all the work for me.
