Yes, e.g. when I need to add a new line/block of code, I just search for a pattern and edit there. When refactoring demands
heavy structural cross-module changes, I just don’t do it honestly. What’s dead is dead, but I may do a “guided” side by side rewrite.
I don’t touch snippets unless there is a good reason to do that. They are my general templates, not per-project tools.
In most of my code, the need for refactoring was mostly a consequence of building a too rigid high-tech structure which with time turned out to not fit the job anyway. Figured out I can avoid it by not building it, and antiDRY also plays a role in it (albeit mostly psychological).
