You have a point here. I admire the work Mattias have done on auto-indenting and code completion, and think that the general direction of these features is better than that of Delphi analogs. However, they have many bugs, like http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17072 which seriously ruin the experience. I myself regularly switch between "wow, neat" and "[strong Russian expletive], my code is auto-broken again" reactions. But I believe that after bug-fixing automatic features may be left enabled by default without irritating the users. -- Alexander S.
