No, the wizard isn't great, but it is handy for setting up grouping, as it populates both the group expression and the sort, which I always forget otherwise... Probably 90% of my reports are variants of something that I have already written, so the copy and tweak method isn't so much of a departure from normal workflow. The inconsistencies between BIDS and VS do seem a bit silly though. I have to author some reports in BIDS on the server as I commonly use SSIS as a data source, would be nice to work on everything in the same way.
