I have always considered refactoring to be a design decision -> its not something that can be automated.

eg: the choice of whether a class member should be in each child class vs being in a parent class, should be a design choice.

Likewise, the choice of aggregate vs inheritance is a design choice -> I couldn't ever see how a refactoring tool could help...
