NGL, Claude has made this sort of thing so much easier. It used to take a very long time to get a WM just the way you wanted it, especially if you were using new tools you were unfamiliar with and weren't sure if they'd do what you wanted them to. Now it takes a few hours. There's value to learning to do it by hand...but honestly, when I've got everything set up I don't mess around with it much, and by the time I want to change something I have to relearn it all anyway. My setups aren't super complicated, just refined, so it's all pretty readily comprehensible.
