For me personally, when it allows me to stop “editing text” and “start transforming/growing code.”

Editing text is still there a little bit, like 1-3% of the time, everything else is auto-completion, refactoring, transformation, auto-insertion, ALT+ENTER magic basically.

Such "transformation/growing of the code" should be at the tips of my fingers. Basically, as I touch the keyboard, the code should start growing, transforming and refactoring. I only make decisions in which direction.
