I'm a non-technical user, and I've never used ysnippets, but I'm willing to give it a go with some proper instruction.

I do see the argument of both sides.

Here is a question: I see specialised snippet packages in the ELPA respositories. Is it possible to provide snippets that reproduce the existing "Easy Templates", maybe even keep the same key bindings so that the change is transparent to the users that are likely to have the troubles referred to by Bastien?

It is a genuine question since I have no idea of the problems involved.

I'll keep using org no matter what you decide!

Cheers,

Alan

Hi all,

I normally am all for adapting to changes, staying on bleeding edges of emacs, Org, etc.

But FWIW, for this particular change to the "<s" Easy Templates, I'm in the camp of "It was working awesome, it was beautiful! Why change it?". For record, I understand the "why", but it just doesn't seem worth it in this case.

But the good thing is that this is open source, and you can backport the stuff you like from the original Easy Template code into your personal Emacs config (and then later adapt to the new way of doing the similar when you have time and motivation).
