Q: Should "snipmate be deprecated in favour of UltiSnips"?
50+
51+
A: No, because snimpate is VimL, and UltiSnips requires Python.
52+
Some people want to use snippets without having to install Vim with Python
53+
support. Yes - this sucks.
54+
55+
One solution would be: Use snippets if they are good enough, but allow overriding them
56+
in UltiSnips. This would avoid most duplication while still serving most users.
57+
AFAIK there is a nested-placeholder branch for snipmate too. snipmate is still
58+
improved by Adnan Zafar. So maybe time is not ready to make a final decision yet.
