Sitecore PowerShell Extensions provides a great way to create items in bulk.

Here is a simple script.

foreach($index in 1..10) {
    $item = New-Item -Path "master:\content\home\sample item$($index)" -ItemType "Sample/Sample Item"
    $item.Title = "Auto-generated index $($index)"
}

Pro

• In a few lines of code using the PowerShell syntax and Sitecore API you can do all sorts of things
• Lots of documentation, videos, and people that know the module

Con

• Requires the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions module to be installed within the Sitecore instance
• Requires some familiarity with PowerShell
• Not too difficult to shoot yourself in the foot. Remove-Item can wipe out an entire tree.

Update 1

I've created a sample for generating users and items in SPE with the help of Read-Variable. Check it out here.
