I find that vim does better brace matching with {}.
.. that is -- unless someone has a vim extension to track do..end...

Since Matz is the creator and his opinion is not to add elseif, I'd
rather say, we keep it like that. I agree with the view that alias is
not a good thing. Because it makes READING a program harder, when you
I first encounter do |var| ... end, I didn't realize {|var|... } is also
ok, but it seems straight forward...

Someone might, but I’ve long since given up on using {} just for the sake of
Vim. I use { … } when the block is like a function and do … end when the
block is like a command.

My do … end blocks are usually small enough (due to Ruby’s power and my
method-factoring) that manual navigation is sufficient.

I missed that until I started using some macros available. They’re
sometimes slow, but when I type “def”, vim automagically completes
it (e.g., “def endk$a”). !init expands to an initializer,
etc.

setting foldmethod=syntax gives a do/end matching of sorts.
