YMMV but for what it's worth I became frustrated with smartparens when I couldn't figure out how to do something very simple. I think it was traversing down into the next sexp. I got different behavior when my cursor was right up against the sexp versus one space before.
Also whereas paredit really pushes me to have a mental model that the lisp source code forms a tree (e.g. up, down, left, and right being the main operations), I found smartparens drove my mental model back to treating the code a string of characters.
- michaelsbradley 9y agoInteresting. I wonder if it has to do default settings, or something like that. I'm using bbatsov/prelude[+], for several years now, and Smartparens (per prelude's config) has always behaved for me like a better ParEdit.

- meken 9y agoAh thanks for the recommendation. For what it's worth I was using the evil-mode smartparens layer bundled with spacemacs.
