<span class="quote">> Why would we want to choose Emmet over some other text expansion helper?

Two reasons.
1. Emmet's abbreviations are context sensitive.
The mentioned "dib" only works for CSS.
2. Emmet is more advanced than any OS text expansion helper.
Emmet provides a CSS selector like syntax to generate HTML.
ul#nav > li*3
generates
<ul id="nav">
<li>|</li>
<li>|</li>
<li>|</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://emmet.io/">http://emmet.io/</a> has a demo with even more features.</pre>
