Is your Sitecore module development and build process ideal?

I maintain a fairly well used "Field Fallback Module", which was released in June 2012. The code for this module is available on GitHub and it has been setup with a very simple build process that has remain unchanged since day one. The module isn't under heavy development, but there have been a couple bugs reported lately. I took this opportunity to revisit the build and deploy process and see if we couldn't modernize it a bit.

TDS Code Generation Output Multiple Files

A very common feature request we get for Team Development for Sitecore at Hedgehog is that people want code generation to create a file per Sitecore template in their project. Currently, when TDS code generation runs it will create a single file with all of the code inside of it. Using partial classes it enabled developers to extend the class with their needs, in a separate file, all the while keeping the code generated part in a file that can be overwritten and updated at any time by TDS. This is very much like the way Linq-to-SQL works.
