Does anyone else seem to spend 50x more time deleting characters like ", } and ) which their IDE inserts automatically, than they save not having to type them on the fewer occasions they get inserted in the right place? Or is it just me?

- this is one of the things I like about IntelliJ; in most contexts when you type the extra ) it will simply overwrite the one it put there so this pattern which I've been doing for decades isn't a problem. Sublime Text does this too.
I actually find that feature more annoying, because sometimes (maybe a bit less than half the time) that's not the right thing to do. And now that I know it might happen, I have to check carefully every time.
