Especially the tab behavior is what "gets me" with yasnippet. It seems erratic. Some package that I use used to auto-load it a few years back and it created a horrible mess with weird highlights and the tab key not working as expected. I have not tried it for many years, but last time I used it I had a distinct distaste for its behavior.

I am not sure I would raise it to a "template system". At most a "block insertion system". Rasmus -- To err is human. To screw up 10⁶ times per second, you need a computer
