The OP was asking for opinions, mine is not worth less than yours. 
Apparently (I just looked at your init files) you do not use keyboard 
macros, which is of course fine, but they are one of the tools in Emacs' 
toolset.

My experience and opinion is that there are cases when it's faster to 
"just do it", and that this is one such case.  Using a macro for such a 
task is, again in my experience and opinion, much more efficient than 
finding / installing / understanding a package that does what you want, or 
writing / debugging / tweaking a defun.
