Depends. For simple expansions, I prefer abbrev. Think: pub -> public,
pro -> protected, pri -> private, etc.
For more complex templates, I use yasnippet. For example, new file
templates (where it's lisp evaluation is handy), class and function
templates with docblocks, etc. I use it to reduce the repetitious
parts of programming, and let me focus on getting things done.
Thank you for your feedback, it will help.
