No one else has the problem that TextExpander works too slow to be useful?
TextExpander has NEVER been able to keep up with me. I’m almost always overtyping its fixes (e.g., if I type “teh ball” it comes out “thballe “). If I try to type through some of this, it beachballs my machine.
Recently, I noticed that I wasn’t even able to disable TextExpander (which I was always able to do until a recent update). Even though it was disabled, it still ran… So I uninstalled it, but its daemon stuck around, so I had to kill it off entirely.
On the other hand, when I’m in Vim, Vim’s replacement keeps up to me. Gradually I’m doing everything in Vim anyway (the Vimperator plugin in Firefox lets me treat Firefox like Vim, and that same plugin is running on the development version of Thunderbird). So I guess that’s my answer to the TextExpander shortcomings — just stop using TextExpander. :(
