Even though I don't rely on seam-gen, I do use it some times to see how to enable certain services/features of Seam through through the generated configuration as they already lay out the ground work for a working Seam application. As well, the generated code could give you some ideas and/or general guidelines as to how Seam applications should be built. I think it's a useful tool for helping newbies getting quickly off the ground without having to fuss around with configuration. Take it for what it is.
