No - you aren't the only one, this infuriates me sometimes. The worst is when you have a file that someone accidentally mixed indentations or something, or use 2 spaces instead of 4 (even 4 spaces seems to break for me) for continuation/promise stuff. I'll enter insert mode and it'll be in-explicably tabbed out 5-6 times further than it should and I have to exit insert mode and manually move over to the correct spot or finish typing the function in shit-mode then manually fix the indenting. There's been several times where I've given up in frustration and opened up VIM or sublime text because I don't want to deal with it anymore.


Parsing correct code is easy. Parsing broken code is really hard because they have no way to predict the mistakes people will make.
