I have overloaded my tab key to be sensitive to the overlays at
the point and to try various completion methods. I don't need
combos anymore, I simply type tab and it expands symbols,
corrects typos with flyspell, expands templates, moves to the
next template field, or indents a line according to the mode.
Yasnippet is very useful for me. I tried ELSE, but I found the
syntax to be difficult. I wrote a tool that translates from
XML template definitions to ELSE templates, but in the end I
ended up ditching it.
I do wish that yasnippet could handle template expansion within
template fields which ELSE implemented though.
