When I've attempted to change the defaults for things like indentation, etc., it creates something in a file that can't be properly parsed & you have to remove it or it won't work. Do you know if this has to do with the 5.0 version issue you mentioned or is it strictly a pretty-printer thing? I don't in general like to have editors try to "help" me while I'm typing. But any attempts to tailor the "help" to my personal preferences seem to cause the thing to go crazy. I imagine there will be some improvement on this over time, but its really annoying when something so integral to the everyday use doesn't work right. (I can deal with some sideline feature that is only occasionally used not working as intended, but when you're doing something common - like typing - its annoying not having that work well.)
