Yes, there're some difference from msf-abbrev. For example,
msf-abbrev doesn't support mirror fields and transformations.
It also doesn't support multiple snippet with same name.
I'll make a table to compare with those competitors when I
have time. It's really a good idea. I'm quite confident of
yasnippet. :P
