Comment on Learn Emacs: Keyboard Macrosparent

Ditto. I've had emacs in my fingertips for 17 years now, but virtually never use macros. Repetitive editing stuff in my world is generally easier in perl.

Or more generally: repetitive structure in any text file (especially a program) is generally a sign of bad design, and should be factored out in whatever way is appropriate.
