How does this compare to snippetsEmu.vim?


The features listed on that page are not, to my knowledge, supported on snippetsEmu.vim:

"- The syntax of snippets is very similar to TextMate's, allowing easy conversion.

- The position of the snippet is kept transparently (i.e. it does not use marks/placeholders inserted in the buffer), which allows you to escape out of an incomplete snippet, something particularly useful in Vim.

- Variables in snippets are updated as-you-type

- Snippets can have multiple matches

- Snippets can be out of order. For instance, in a do...while loop, the condition can be added before the code."

There are also more snippets for more filetypes enabled by default with snipMate.vim, partly because of the features it supports. I also managed to get it to around half the code, which pleases me but I doubt anyone else would consider it a 'feature' ;)
