Huh... well, now that you mention it I realize my most common "type bit and have it expand" snippets are ones I made for certain temporary stacktrace/debug statements. I guess as a project matures you spend more time debugging or modifying what's already there. Even when those modifications are something the IDE helps with, that process is often triggered differently, highlighting existing text and using a refactoring menu/shortcut.

When I am working on new stuff... Well, my typing is mostly on autopilot, I use the time to think about what I'm going to put next, or else I've reached a spot where I would be making decisions anyway, e.g. naming a method.
