That's only because you're not using the One True Editor! :) If you're
using emacs with a good mode for the language a lot of that is taken
care of for you. I've never seen anything that comes anywhere even close
to cperl though. I type:
if
I get
if (<cursor placed here) {
<later cursor position>
}
After filling in the condition, I hit enter and my cursor gets moved to
the "later" position. That way, there's nothing to hate about brackets.
:)
And I must say that of what I've seen of Python, I get very easily
confused. Trying to keep track of levels of loops and if's based on
indentation just doesn't cut it for me. I deal much better with counting
brackets or, better yet, having The One True Editor highlight
corresponding brackets as I pass over their partners. :)
