Yes, it's my biggest yet.

That's how I've started to write lispy: with 3 functions for inserting
pairs and a re-bind of `forward-list`/`backward-list` to "]"/"[".

Sure. Not everyone likes paredit (at first:). That's why each locally
bound function in lispy is constructed from a regular interactive
function: so you can use them without turning on the minor mode.
But somehow paredit together with other powerful tools becomes more
than the sum of its parts: paredit + multiple-cursors allows easy
refactors of repeated information, lispy store region + ediff makes
for easier and faster diffs, and lispy narrowing + ace-jump-mode
symbol selection + iedit allows to rename variables faster.
And of course it's nice to keep some specialty tools handy:
`lispy-multiline` ("M") may not seem like much, but it's great after a
`macroexpand-all`.
And look at `lispy-flatten` ("xf"):
|(org-defkey org-mode-map [(meta up)] 'org-metaup)
->
|(define-key org-mode-map (org-key [(meta up)]) 'org-metaup)
Nifty, right?
