I guess you mean the block completion (begin..end).
I agree here. For beginners it can be a big help. But if it fails in  
10% of the cases it is still annoying. Same in other IDE's for other  
languages too.

I worked with auto indenting since a few days and it helps me already.
Indent on paste is a big time saver - at least when synedit gives me  
correct values. I will try to find a solution.
