Kirk Pepperdine has noted in his blog that refactoring tools, although useful, can serve to hide flaws in implemented code. His point is that if you change a method name by hand and it introduces a lot of errors, you've got poor coupling - and refactoring tools hide that from you.Threaded Messages (1)

Rubbish!
All refactoring tools I have used or tried, give you report of changes, so you can get absolutely same information as in case of changing code by hand. They hide nothing, just help you.
