Discussion on: Code snippets or nah?

I use emit for html html:5 and I use a snippet for css, a small resetter.

Whilst using those two, I found that at some point I forgot how to write them without using the snippet.

Those two aren't very important, and I've since learned the logic behind them, but I imagined that if I relied on snippets I'll start forgetting things.

So I don't use them.

Besides, I haven't found any appealing tool to universally manage snippets! And having to configure snippets in vs code, sublime and so on, is just annoying

Haha forgetting how to actually write something would be a concern that I'd have if I started using snippets
