What drives me nuts about them is that they impede the default  
behavior for typing when you already have a selection - deleting the  
selection and replacing it with what you type. If what you type  
happens to start with $(, you get very different behavior that if it  
starts with something else.

Worse, we already had a easy way to do what you talk about above -  
cmd-shift-9.
