   The project is at http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/

   This is a re-design and re-writing of my original extension smart-
   snippet. The goal is ease of use and full features.

I watched your video and I am impressed.

Then I decided to look at "competitors" and found them on
emacswiki[1]. There are plenty of alternatives and the choice is
not easy.

So, could you explain in what yasnippet differ from msfabbrev ?
Are you aware of anything like a comparative chart of all the
available modes ?

Why did you feel the need to rewrite smart-snippet ? How does it
work internally ? Why did you need to write your own templating
system (serious question since I find it is pretty closed to what
Msf Abbrev does).

Anyway, congratulations, it is really impressing.
